polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism (pcr-rflp) and phylogenetic analysis were used for molecular identification of lactic acid bacteria (labs) isolated from apis mellifera. eighteen honeybee workers were collected from three different apiaries in west azerbaijan. labs from the gut of honeybees were isolated and cultured using routine biochemical procedures. ge...

Medonosna pčela (Apis mellifera L.) jedan je od najznačajnijih oprašivača. Međutim, klimatske promjene, uz bolesti koje uzrokuju stradanje pčela, prepoznate su kao osnovnih problema pčelarstva u budućnosti. Sušna ljeta i hladna proljeća, ukoliko pčelar ne intervenira, mogu dovesti do stradanja zajednica ili sporog proljetnog razvoja. U ovom istraživanju tijekom dvije sezone ispitan utjecaj stim...

Interactions between parasites and environmental factors have been implicated in the loss of managed Western honey bee (=HB, Apis mellifera) colonies. Although laboratory data suggest that cold temperature may limit the spread of Nosema ceranae, an invasive species and now ubiquitous endoparasite of Western HBs, the impact of weather conditions on the distribution of this microsporidian in the ...

objectives: royal jelly (rj), a secretion of both the hypopharyngeal and mandibular glands of nurse workers, is believed to play a central role in honeybee queen development. important component of royal jelly are proteins which form about 50% of the dry mass of rj. major royal jelly proteins (mrjps) are the dominant proteinaceous component of royal jelly and constitute about 82-90% of total pr...

To manage spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula (White)), an invasive planthopper recently introduced to the United States, governmental agencies, homeowners, and landscape professionals may treat its host plants with systemic neonicotinoid insecticides. Neonicotinoids can be harmful non-target insect floral visitors collecting pollen or nectar. The of red maple (Acer rubrum L.) tree-of-heaven...
