The death of honey bees and environmental pollution by pesticides: the honey bees as biological indicators
The monitoring of pesticides with honey bees, which has been carried out by our group since the beginning of the 1980’s, is an extremely important technique not only for proving potential bee poisoning risks by the use of pesticides, but also for determining the degree of environmental contamination due to plant protection products. In fact, because of its morphological and ethological features...
متن کاملBehavioral defenses of honey bees against Varroa jacobsoni Oud . Otto
Two behaviors of honey bees, hygienic behavior and grooming, are mechanisms of defense against brood diseases and parasitic mites. Studies have shown that Apis mellifera colonies remove worker brood infested with Varroa jacobsoni mites from the nest (hygienic behavior), and groom the mites off other adult bees, but to a limited extent compared to the original host of V. jacobsoni, A. cerana. Re...
متن کاملMOLECULAR ENTOMOLOGY Genetic Stock Identification of Russian Honey Bees
A genetic stock certiÞcation assay was developed to distinguish Russian honey bees from other European (Apis mellifera L.) stocks that are commercially produced in the United States. In total, 11 microsatellite and Þve single-nucleotide polymorphism loci were used. Loci were selected for relatively high levels of homogeneity within each group and for differences in allele frequencies between gr...
متن کاملNative bees provide insurance against ongoing honey bee losses.
One of the values of biodiversity is that it may provide 'biological insurance' for services currently rendered by domesticated species or technology. We used crop pollination as a model system, and investigated whether the loss of a domesticated pollinator (the honey bee) could be compensated for by native, wild bee species. We measured pollination provided to watermelon crops at 23 farms in N...
متن کاملPesticides and bees.
In May 2013, the European Commission (EC) adopted a 2-year restriction on the use of three neonicotinoid pesticides – clothianidin and imidacloprid, both produced by Bayer, and thiametoxam, produced by Syngenta – on crops that attract bees and other pollinators to protect declining populations of pollinating bees. The decision was based on a risk assessment by the European Food Safety Authority...
