Invasive Africanized honey bee impact on native solitary bees: a pollen resource and trap nest analysis
Little is known of the potential coevolution of flowers and bees in changing, biodiverse environments. Female solitary bees, megachilids and Centris, and their nest pollen provisions were monitored with trap nests over a 17-year period in a tropical Mexican biosphere reserve. Invasion by feral Apis (i.e. Africanized honey bees) occurred after the study began, and major droughts and hurricanes o...

Among the most spectacular invasions in the Western hemisphere is that of the Africanized honeybee. We hypothesized that in the oceanic island Puerto Rico, Africanized bees will exhibit differences from the mainland population such as for defensiveness and other linked tr...

متن کاملAfricanized bees extend their distribution in California
Africanized honey bees (Apis mellifera) arrived in the western hemisphere in the 1950s and quickly spread north reaching California in the 1990s. These bees are highly defensive and somewhat more difficult to manage for commercial purposes than the European honey bees traditionally kept. The arrival of these bees and their potentially replacing European bees over much of the state is thus of gr...
متن کاملDisease Resistance in Africanized Honey Bees
One of the consequences of the expansion is the health conditions of the bees in the countries where they are found today. It is known that the honey bees are susceptible to several diseases and bee pests such as EFB, AFB, Nosema, Amoeba, Sacbrood, Chalkbrood, Acarine, Varroosis, Viruses etc. The two most important diseases of honey bees are Varroosis and American Foulbrood (AFB) (DE JONG, 1994...
