Journal ArticleDOI
Bee declines driven by combined stress from parasites, pesticides, and lack of flowers
TL;DR: The stresses bees are experiencing from climate change, infectious diseases, and insecticides are reviewed, with concern that the authors may be nearing a “pollination crisis” in which crop yields begin to fall.
Journal ArticleDOI
A historical review of managed honey bee populations in Europe and the United States and the factors that may affect them.
TL;DR: The present day value of honey bees is highlighted, followed by a detailed description of some of the historical and present day factors that influence honey bee populations, with particular emphasis on colony populations in Europe and the United States.

TL;DR: This paper provides easy to use protocols for the collection, identification, diagnosis, rearing, breeding, marking and measurement of infestation rates and fertility of V. destructor and describes pros and cons for all methods for the user to know which method to use under which circumstances.

TL;DR: An integrated analysis of the population and molecular changes associated with the collapse of honeybees infested by the parasitic mite Varroa destructor shows that this parasite can de-stabilise the within-host dynamics of Deformed wing virus (DWV), transforming a cryptic and vertically transmitted virus into a rapidly replicating killer, which attains lethal levels late in the season.

TL;DR: The observation that irradiated combs from affected colonies can be repopulated with naive bees suggests that infection may contribute to colony collapse disorder (CCD).

Varroa jacobsoni (Acari: Varroidae) is more than one species
Denis L. Anderson,J.W.H. Trueman +1 more
TL;DR: The results imply that the findings of past research on V. jacobsoni are applicable mostly to V. destructor, and will also influence quarantine protocols for bee mites, and may present new strategies for mite control.
