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 ... -
Current status of the small hive beetle Aethina tumida in Latin America
(Springer Nature, 2023-03)The small hive beetle (SHB), Aethina tumida, is a parasitic pest and scavenger of social bees native to sub-Saharan Africa. It is a generalist species which can also reproduce in association with nests of stingless bees, ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Diversity and biological traits of bees visiting flowers of Cucurbita maxima var. zapallito differ between biodiversity-based and conventional management practices
(Springer Nature, 2024-01)Low diversity of pollinators and the modified composition of functional groups of bees have been proposed as the causes of pollination deficiency in cultivated Cucurbitaceae species. Functional groups of bees are determined ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
First large‑scale study reveals important losses of managed honey bee and stingless bee colonies in Latin America
(Springer Nature, 2024-05)Over the last quarter century, increasing honey bee colony losses motivated standardized large-scale surveys of managed honey bees (Apis mellifera), particularly in Europe and the United States. Here we present the first ... -
Fumagillin control of Nosema ceranae (Microsporidia:Nosematidae) infection in honey bee (Hymenoptera:Apidae) colonies in Argentina
(2016)Information on the long‑term consequences of Nosema ceranae to honey bee lifespan and effectiveness of Nosema control with fumagillin is scarce and not always consistent. Our objective in this study was to evaluate the ... -
Honeybees generalize among pollen scents from plants flowering in the same seasonal period
(The Company of Biologists, 2019-11)When honey bees (Apis mellifera) feed on flowers, they extend their proboscis to absorb the nectar, i.e. they perform the proboscis extension response (PER). The presence of pollen and/or nectar can be associated with ... -
Key management practices to prevent high infestation levels of Varroa destructor in honey bee colonies at the beginning of the honey yield season
