Video Monitoring of Honey Bee Colonies at the Hive Entrance
The flight activity of a honey bee colony is an important indicator of its strength and condition. We propose the use of video sensing to monitor arrivals and departures at the hive entrance. We describe the challenges of tracking and counting bees visually in the uncontrolled outdoor environment of an apiary, and detail a hardware platform and software algorithms we have developed to meet many...
متن کاملAuthenticity of Honey and Other Bee Products
Honey authenticity is defined by the Codex Alimentarius standard, the EU Honey Directive and several national legislations. The Codex and EU standards were recently revised. The authenticity of honey and other bee products have two aspects. Authenticity in respect of production i.e. to prevent adulteration by addition of other food ingredients by correct beekeeping practice and processing. The ...
متن کاملHoney Bee-Infecting Plant Virus with Implications on Honey Bee Colony Health
Honey bees are eusocial insects that are commercially managed to provide pollination services for agricultural crops. Recent increased losses of honey bee colonies (averaging 32% annually since 2006) are associated with the incidence and abundance of pathogens. In their study in mBio, J. L. Li et al. [mBio 5(1):e00898-13, 2014, doi:10.1128/mBio.00898-13] share their discovery that a plant virus...
متن کاملField-Level Sublethal Effects of Approved Bee Hive Chemicals on Honey Bees (Apis mellifera L)
In a study replicated across two states and two years, we tested the sublethal effects on honey bees of the miticides Apistan (tau fluvalinate) and Check Mite+ (coumaphos) and the wood preservative copper naphthenate applied at label rates in field conditions. A continuous covariate, a colony Varroa mite index, helped us disambiguate the effects of the chemicals on bees while adjusting for a pr...
متن کاملMultiple virus infections in the honey bee and genome divergence of honey bee viruses.
Using uniplex RT-PCR we screened honey bee colonies for the presence of several bee viruses, including black queen cell virus (BQCV), deformed wing virus (DWV), Kashmir bee virus (KBV), and sacbrood virus (SBV), and described the detection of mixed virus infections in bees from these colonies. We report for the first time that individual bees can harbor four viruses simultaneously. We also deve...
