Esta especie está estrechamente relacionada con la actividad humana a través ... -
Contribution of honeybees to soybean yield
(Springer, 2018-02)Despite the economic importance of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.], knowledge on the contribution of entomological pollination on seed yield is scarce. This study estimates the production of soybean resulting from pollination ... -
Defensive Behavior and Morphometric Variation in Apis mellifera Colonies From Two Different Agro-Ecological Zones of North-Western Argentina
(Frontiers Media, 2021-09-14)European lineages of Apis mellifera were first introduced into America for beekeeping purposes. A subsequent introduction and accidental release of A. m. scutellata resulted in hybridization events that gave rise to ... -
Determination of imidacloprid in beehive samples by UHPLC-MS/MS
(2018)Imidacloprid is a systemic insecticide belonging to the neonicotinoid family. It was the first neonicotinoid introduced in the mid-1990s, and since then, its use has grown rapidly to control pests in a variety of agricultural ... -
Development of a loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) and a direct LAMP for the specific detection of Nosema ceranae, a parasite of honey bees
(Springer, 2020-10)Nosema ceranae is a ubiquitous microsporidian pathogen infecting the midgut of honey bees. The infection causes bee nosemosis, a disease associated with malnutrition, dysentery, and lethargic behavior, and results in ... -
Differentiation of argentine propolis from different species of bees and geographical origins by UV spectroscopy and chemometric analysis
(Elsevier, 2018-09)Bees collect vegetal resins that they mix with their wax and mechanical impurities to elaborate propolis, whose chemical composition is complex and variable depending on botanical/geographical origin, type of bee, time of ... -
Distribution and prevalence of Nosema apis and N. ceranae in temperate and subtropical eco-regions of Argentina
(2016-11)A total of 361 colonies from 59 apiaries located in two temperate and three subtropical eco-regions were examined during the post-harvest period to determine distribution and prevalence of Nosema spp. Apiaries from subtropical ... -
Effect of environmental factors on bee activity and onion (Allium cepa L.) seed yield = Efecto de factores ambientales en la actividad de la abeja y en el rendimiento de semilla de cebolla (Allium cepa L.)
(Facultad de Ciencias Agrarias, Universidad Nacional de Cuyo, 2019-12)Pollinators are required to produce onion seeds. This specie is one of the main vegetable crops. Two types of onion varieties are mainly grown worldwide: hybrids and open pollination (OP) cultivars. Although hybrids offer ... -
Environment and Varroa destructor management as determinant of colony losses in apiaries under temperate and subtropical climate
(2018-07)For the last 10 years, honey bee colony losses have been a topic of interest for researchers around the world, and many drivers for losses were described. The aim of this study was to evaluate the risk factors associated ... -
Estudio de los factores de riesgo asociados a la presencia y difusión de la Varroosis en la Provincia de Santa Fe
(Facultad de Ciencias Exactas, Físicas y Naturales, Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, 2015)Varroa destructor (Anderson and Trueman) (Acari: Varroidae) es un ectoparásito obligado de Apis mellifera L. (Hymenoptera: Apidae) y es considerado una de las mayores amenazas a la producción apícola global. El daño causado ... -
Expression analysis of genes putatively associated with hygienic behavior in selected stocks of Apis mellifera L. from Argentina
(2017-11)Hygienic behavior is an economically beneficial, heritable trait, which has evolved to limit the impact of honeybee pathogens. Selecting and breeding colonies with high levels of hygienic behavior has become a feasible and ... -
Field evaluation of Varroa-resistance traits in surviving Apis mellifera colonies in Argentina
(Springer, 2021-10)Varroa destructor is one of the most important sanitary threats for the beekeeping industry and so far disease control is based mainly on chemical treatment. However, a long-term solution may arise from studying natural ... -
