Colony Collapse Disorder in context
Although most of humanity relies upon foods that do not require animal pollination [1], production of 39 of the world’s 57 most important monoculture crops still benefits from this ecosystem service [2]. Western honey bees (Apis mellifera) are undoubtedly the singlemost valuable animal pollinators to agriculture because they can be easily maintained and transported to pollinator-dependent crops...
متن کاملColony Collapse Disorder (CCD) and bee age impact honey bee pathophysiology
Honey bee (Apis mellifera) colonies continue to experience high annual losses that remain poorly explained. Numerous interacting factors have been linked to colony declines. Understanding the pathways linking pathophysiology with symptoms is an important step in understanding the mechanisms of disease. In this study we examined the specific pathologies associated with honey bees collected from ...
متن کاملHow natural infection by Nosema ceranae causes honeybee colony collapse.
In recent years, honeybees (Apis mellifera) have been strangely disappearing from their hives, and strong colonies have suddenly become weak and died. The precise aetiology underlying the disappearance of the bees remains a mystery. However, during the same period, Nosema ceranae, a microsporidium of the Asian bee Apis cerana, seems to have colonized A. mellifera, and it's now frequently detect...
متن کاملThe Producer-Pollinator Dilemma: Neonicotinoids and Honeybee Colony Collapse
Neonicotinoid insecticides are the most important new insecticide class introduced in the past 40 years. They are the number one selling insecticide in the world, and are used on over 90% of the corn produced in the U.S. However, neonicotinoids could very likely be causing widespread and severe impairment to bee colonies, and possibly contributing to Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD). This is prob...
