摘要:

Viruses and, in particular, their association with parasites such as varroa are causing great concern for beekeepers around the world. Brenda Ball, world expert on bee viruses, gives her views on this important topic.

摘要:

Methods for reducing the water content of honey, especially in the humid tropics, were discussed at a Conference on the Asiatic Hive Bee held in Malaysia in 1988. The proceedings, published in 1995, include a chapter on the subject10. Large-scale beekeepers and honey packers in other parts of the world have also devised systems for reducing the water content of honey, or adapted systems developed for other foodstuffs. This article examines the reasons for removing water from honey, and assesses methods available for doing it.

摘要:

Honey bees are able to forage over a 30°C range of air temperature largely because they have behavioural and physiological mechanisms for regulating the temperature of their flight muscles. From very low to very high air temperatures, the successive mechanisms are shivering before flight and stopping flight for additional shivering, passive body temperature in a comfort range that is a function of work effort, and finally active heat dissipation by evaporative cooling from regurgitated honey sac contents. The body temperatures maintained differ depending on expected foraging rewards and on caste.

摘要:

In 1919, whenBee Worldwas first published, it had a regular feature quaintly calledApis and Flora.This was phased out in the mid 1920s and has only occasionally been revived since, with the new name ofPlants for Bees.Considering the importance of plants to bees—there wouldn't be any bees without flowering plants—Bee Worldis beginning a new series of articles on this topic.

摘要:

Honey bee viruses are increasingly of interest to both bee researchers and beekeepers, primarily because of their association with the parasitic miteVarroa jacobsoni.The identification of viruses requires specialized techniques, and reviews of honey bee disease distribution that have been published so far do not contain much information on viruses. The authors, leading experts on bee viruses, have collected together data from many sources to produce this important review.
