Journal ArticleDOI
The influence of wax deprivation on temporal polyethism in honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) colonies
TL;DR: Various levels of wax deprivation in honey bee (Apis mellifera) colonies induced shifts in the temporal pattern of division of labour in worker honey bees.
Journal ArticleDOI
Suppression of queen rearing in European and africanized honey bees Apis mellifera L. by synthetic queen mandibular gland pheromone
TL;DR: Queen rearing was suppressed similarly in both European and Africanized honey bees with the addition of synthetic QMP, indicating that QMP acts on workers of both races in a comparable fashion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Semiochemicals influencing the host-finding behaviour of Varroa destructor.
TL;DR: It is suggested that V. destructor may detect relative concentrations of these compounds in order to discriminate between adult bee hosts, and preferentially parasitize nurse bees over older workers in honey bee colonies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intercolony Variation in Pesticide Detoxification by the Honey Bee (Hymenoptera: Apidae)
TL;DR: Variation in polysubstrate monooxygenase activity, as measured by the epoxidation of aldrin, was studied in colonies of the honey bee and indicated the involvement of these enzymes in determining intercolony diazinon resistance.
Book
Nature Wars: People vs. Pests
TL;DR: The aim of this book is to sound the alarm against dangerous tactics for controlling the pests that are an annoying but integral part of the authors' world, and show how a more measured and discriminating approach to pests might serve us and the natural world much better.
