Varroa - Bee Relationships – What They Tell Us about Controlling Varroa Mites on the European Honeybee
Until recently, only three species of Varroa mites had been recorded: Varroa jacobsoni, V. underwoodi and V. rindereri. Of these, V. jacobsoni had received the most attention from researchers, primarily because it was believed to have switched host from the Asian bee (Apis cerana) to the European honey bee (A. mellifera) some 40-50 years ago, then spread to become a serious parasite of A. melli...
متن کاملReproduction of parasitic mites Varroa destructor in original and new honeybee hosts
The ectoparasitic mite, Varroa destructor, shifted host from the eastern honeybee, Apis cerana, to the western honeybee, Apis mellifera. Whereas the original host survives infestations by this parasite, they are lethal to colonies of its new host. Here, we investigated a population of A. cerana naturally infested by the V. destructor Korea haplotype that gave rise to the globally invasive mite ...
متن کاملDisease dynamics of honeybees with Varroa destructor as parasite and virus vector.
The worldwide decline in honeybee colonies during the past 50 years has often been linked to the spread of the parasitic mite Varroa destructor and its interaction with certain honeybee viruses carried by Varroa mites. In this paper, we propose a honeybee-mite-virus model that incorporates (1) parasitic interactions between honeybees and the Varroa mites; (2) five virus transmission terms betwe...
متن کاملHoney Bee Colonies Headed by Hyperpolyandrous Queens Have Improved Brood Rearing Efficiency and Lower Infestation Rates of Parasitic Varroa Mites
A honey bee queen mates on wing with an average of 12 males and stores their sperm to produce progeny of mixed paternity. The degree of a queen's polyandry is positively associated with measures of her colony's fitness, and observed distributions of mating number are evolutionary optima balancing risks of mating flights against benefits to the colony. Effective mating numbers as high as 40 have...
متن کاملA Comparison of Classifiers for Prescreening of Honeybee Brood Cells
We report on an image classification task originated from the video observation of beehives. Biologists desire to have an automatic support to identify so called hygienic bees. For this it is important to know which brood cells are in a stadium of initial opening. To find these cells a prescreening process is necessary which distinguishes between three types of cells. To solve this decision pro...
