ECOLOGY, BEHAVIOR AND BIONOMICS Uncapping Activity of Apis mellifera L. (Hymenoptera: Apidae) towards Worker Brood Cells Infested with the Mite Varroa destructor Anderson & Treuman (Mesostigmata: Varroidae)
Varroosis, a disease caused by the mite Varroa destructor Anderson and Treuman has killed hundreds of thousands of Apis mellifera L. colonies in various parts of the world. Nevertheless, the damage caused by this mite varies with the type of bee and climate conditions. Varroa causes little damage to Africanized bee colonies in Brazil, as the infestation rates are relatively stable and low. We e...
متن کاملPractical sampling plans for Varroa destructor (Acari: Varroidae) in Apis mellifera (Hymenoptera: Apidae) colonies and apiaries.
The parasitic mite Varroa destructor Anderson & Trueman (Acari: Varroidae) is arguably the most detrimental pest of the European-derived honey bee, Apis mellifera L. Unfortunately, beekeepers lack a standardized sampling plan to make informed treatment decisions. Based on data from 31 commercial apiaries, we developed sampling plans for use by beekeepers and researchers to estimate the density ...
متن کاملAPICULTURE AND SOCIAL INSECTS Formic Acid Treatment for Control of Varroa destructor (Mesostigmata: Varroidae) and Safety to Apis mellifera (Hymenoptera: Apidae) Under Southern United States Conditions
The efÞcacy of a formic acid pad formulation was Þeld tested for control of the honey bee parasitic miteVarroa destructorAnderson & Trueman in Florida and Texas. This pad formulation gave 39.8 11.1% control at the end of a 6-wk treatment period,which did not signiÞcantly differ from the initial sample date. Coumaphos treatment provided poor control (38.4 11.1%) over the 6-wk period, conÞrming r...
متن کاملHeritability in Honey Bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae) of Characteristics Associated with Resistance to Varroa jacobsoni (Mesostigmata: Varroidae)
This studyuses siblinganalysis tomeasure theheritability inhoneybees,Apismellifera L., of characteristics that have been associated with resistance to the mite, Varroa jacobsoni Oudemans. Twenty-eight uniform colonies of bees were established on 13 May in Baton Rouge, LA, each with 1 kg of mite-infested bees and a queen. The 28 unrelated queens in these colonies were divided into 7 groups of 4 ...
متن کاملComposition of fatty acids in the Varroa destructor mites and their hosts, Apis mellifera drone-prepupae.
The fatty acid (FA) profile of lipids extracted from the Varroa destructor parasitic mite and its host, drone-prepupae of Apis mellifera, was determined by gas chromatography (GC). The percentages of saturated fatty acids (SFAs), monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) were generally similar in parasites and their hosts. Fatty acids were arranged in the follo...
