Varroa destructor is a major threat for apiculture worldwide. A successful approach to control this parasite must include the application of effective treatments at correct time. To understand effect that treatment timing has on populations different seasons, we conducted an experiment using dataset comprising two separate field trials over multiple years, both containing four apiary sites comp...

Bee pollen, which is filled into the cells of honeycomb by honeybees to use in nutrition, enriched with digestive enzymes and organic acids from honey salivary gland secretions honeybees. Lactic acid fermentation takes place comb cell under anaerobic conditions bee bread formed. We have limited knowledge about bacteria yeasts are involved process. Samples collected 8 different beehives same api...

For their normal living, honey bees (Apis mellifera) require proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, vitamins and minerals. It is well known that Co and vitamin B12 are two nutrients that have been reported in pollen and plants that have had positive results in bees feeding. In this respect, the aim of the study is to determine the influence of feeding of the bee families with CoSO4 as a supplement on...

Beekeeping delivers the rural people with sources of income, dietary use, pollination service and social benefit. In spite benefits obtained from beekeeping, farmer’s resistivity to adopt recommended modern beekeeping technological components (packages) is among major problem. Therefore, objectives this study were examine intensity adoption technology package, identify factors influencing bee k...

Among a long list of parasites and pathogens that threaten the European honey bee (Apis mellifera), Foulbrood (EFB) has become an urgent apiary disease, as epidemic outbreaks are becoming increasingly common. EFB is bacterial disease larval bees, caused by gram-positive, anaerobic bacterium, Melissococcus plutonius. The most effective current treatment for EFB, oxytetracycline hydrochloride, ca...
