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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Key management practices to prevent high infestation levels of Varroa destructor in honey bee colonies at the beginning of the honey yield season
(2016)Varroa destructor is considered one of the main threats to worldwide apiculture causing a variety of physiological effects at individual and colony level. Also, Varroa mites are often associated with several honey bee ... -
Observaciones preliminares del efecto del tamaño de celdas en los niveles de infestación de Varroa destructor sobre abejas Apis mellifera
(EEA Reconquista, 2018-06)En el relevamiento realizado por INTA Centro Regional Santa Fe durante 2015 en toda la provincia, se describe que la prevalencia de adultos con V. destructor en colmenas con más de 3% de infestación, parece estar asociada ... -
Potential associations between the mite Varroa destructor and other stressors in honeybee colonies (Apis mellifera L.) in temperate and subtropical climate from Argentina
(2018-09-14)The presence of Varroa destructor in colonies of Apis mellifera is explained by the interaction among a number of factors including beekeeping practices and surrounding environment features. The aim of this study was to ... -
Prevalence of honey bee (Apis mellifera) viruses in temperate and subtropical regions from Argentina
(2017)In Argentina, bee virus studies are still incipient, and there are no studies regarding the climatic effect. The aim of this study was to assess and compare the presence of honeybee viruses in different climatic regions ... -
Risk factors associated with failures of Varroa treatments in honey bee colonies without broodless period
(2015-09)The treatment against Varroa destructor has become a basic tool in beekeeping practices, mainly during autumn. The treatment effectiveness should be improved by identifying variables affecting the final outcome. The aim ... -
Risk factors associated with the presence of Varroa destructor in honey bee colonies from east-central Argentina
(2014-08-01)Varroa destructor is considered one of the major threats for worldwide apiculture. Damage caused by varroa mite includes body weight loss, malformation and weakening of the bees. It was also suggested as the main cause ... -
Short communication: Varroa destructor re-invasion dynamics during autumn and winter in Apis mellifera colonies from a temperate climate
(Elsevier, 2023-03)Infestation with Varroa destructor compromises the survival of Apis mellifera colonies, especially during the winter season. In order to prevent colony losses due to the presence of Varroa mites, determination of the ... -
Sorgo granífero y abejas melíferas: una mirada desde el sur de Santa Fe
