DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe importance of the role played by honey bee pests in the world is becoming more recognized each year, not only because of attention given to the pest species, such as the varroa mite and small hive beetle, but also because of the increasing realization that honey bees are extremely valuable to nature and humanity.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe small hive beetle Aethina tumida is native to sub-Saharan Africa, where it is not generally considered a pest. Its arrival in 1996 in the south east of the United States was unexpected, as was the devastating effect it had on colonies. It has since spread to Australia, Canada, and Mexico. An isolated incursion in Portugal, Europe in 2004 was successfully eradicated. The discovery of the beetle in south west Italy in September 2014, and subsequent continuing control efforts have brought new attention to the beetle by beekeepers, scientists and governments. This book intended for beekeepers derives from a conference organised by the COLOSS association and held at CRA-API, Bologna, Italy. In its seven chapters the world's experts on the small hive beetle discuss its biology and spread, and suggest practical ways of living with the pest.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFinally, small hive beetles are unique among other beetle species in their ability to find hiding places within the colony where they are confined by honey bee hosts (Chapter 6) until the ambient temperature decreases, whereafter the beetles enter the thermoregulatory cluster of honey bees (Chapter 7). The research presented herein contributes to a greater understanding of attributes of small hive beetles that enable them to integrate successfully into honey bee nests.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book summarizes the current progress of bee researchers investigating the status of honey bees and possible reasons for their decline, providing a basis for establishing management methods that maintain colony health. Integrating discussion of Colony Collapse Disorder, the chapters provide information on the new microsporidian Nosema ceranae pathogens, the current status of the parasitic bee mites, updates on bee viruses, and the effects these problems are having on our important bee pollinators. The text also presents methods for diagnosing diseases and includes color illustrations and tables.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe small hive beetle (SHB, Aethina tumida) is an invasive pest species of honey bees with established populations on all continents except Antarctica. There is a lack of understanding of some of the mechanisms involved in the invasions of the SHB. In this thesis, the dispersal capacity and factors of importance for host-finding were studied under field conditions. It was found that the SHB is capable of long distance flights and uses host cues during dispersal. Additionally, successful pupation was shown in several greenhouse substrates and data obtained from laboratory studies was applied to global modelling data to show the impact under current and future climatic conditions. The results signify the opportunistic nature of the SHB and highlights that the future impact of the species will likely increase due to global warming. This thesis contributes to the knowledge needed to mitigate the impact of this invasive species around the world.
Bee Pollination in Agricultural Ecosystems

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book discusses the interplay among bees, agriculture and the environment. Both managed and wild bees are critical for successful pollination of numerous fruit, vegetable, oilseed and legume seed crops and are considered here. So is treatment of how bees also impact the agro-ecosystem in ways beyond simple pollination, such as by transporting pollen from genetically modified plants and by enhancing biological control strategies. The principles and examples are international. The concept is in line with current thinking of pollination as an important ecological process, and an understanding of agriculture as disturbance ecology.
