Field efficacy of acaricides against Varroa destructor
Field trials were conducted in Northeast Spain (Aragón) to evaluate the effectiveness of two acaricides against Varroa destructor. These experiments took into account the season of the year, apiary, colony, and developmental state and strength of the colony. The acaricides used were a synthetic (amitraz, Apivar®) and a natural (formulated from Api Life Var®, thymol oil and thymol alcohol) produ...
متن کاملComparing oxalic acid and sucrocide treatments for Varroa destructor (Acari: Varroidae) control under desert conditions.
The effectiveness of oxalic acid (OA) and Sucrocide (S) (AVA Chemical Ventures, L.L.C., Portsmouth, NH) in reducing populations of the varroa mite Varroa destructor Anderson & Trueman (Acari: Varroidae) in honey bee, Apis mellifera L. (Hymenoptera: Apidae) colonies was measured under the desert conditions of Arizona, USA. OA and S were applied three times 7 d apart. A 3.2% solution of OA was ap...
متن کاملPractical sampling plans for Varroa destructor (Acari: Varroidae) in Apis mellifera (Hymenoptera: Apidae) colonies and apiaries.
The parasitic mite Varroa destructor Anderson & Trueman (Acari: Varroidae) is arguably the most detrimental pest of the European-derived honey bee, Apis mellifera L. Unfortunately, beekeepers lack a standardized sampling plan to make informed treatment decisions. Based on data from 31 commercial apiaries, we developed sampling plans for use by beekeepers and researchers to estimate the density ...
متن کاملThe effect of temperature and humidity on grooming behaviour of honeybee, Apis mellifera (Hym.: Apidae) colonies against varroa mite, Varroa destructor (Acari: Varroidae)
رفتار نظافت‌گری یکی از مهم‌ترین مکانیزم‌های دفاعی زنبور عسل علیه کنه‌ی واروآ می‌باشد که در طرح‌های اصلاح‌نژادی برای بهبود این صفت تلاش می‌شود. علاوه بر خصوصیات ژنتیکی کلنی، شرایط محیطی نیز در بروز چنین صفات رفتاری مؤثر است. هدف این تحقیق، تعیین تأثیر دما و رطوبت نسبی روی رفتار نظافت‌گری کلنی‌های زنبور عسل علیه کنه‌ی واروآ در دو لاین مقاوم و حساس به این کنه بود. برای این منظور، صد زنبور عسل ک...
متن کاملHeritability in Honey Bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae) of Characteristics Associated with Resistance to Varroa jacobsoni (Mesostigmata: Varroidae)
This studyuses siblinganalysis tomeasure theheritability inhoneybees,Apismellifera L., of characteristics that have been associated with resistance to the mite, Varroa jacobsoni Oudemans. Twenty-eight uniform colonies of bees were established on 13 May in Baton Rouge, LA, each with 1 kg of mite-infested bees and a queen. The 28 unrelated queens in these colonies were divided into 7 groups of 4 ...
