Small hive beetles (SHBs) are parasites of social bee colonies endemic to sub-Saharan Africa and have become a widespread invasive species. In the new ranges, SHBs can cause damage to apiculture and wild bees. Although the further spread seems inevitable, eradication...
An equivalent structure can be made for a top-bar hive and placed between the walls of the hive and the roof. Warré and National beekeepers seem to be much more familiar with these tools than Langstroth keepers . . . and they are also the folks who come up with cool words. How to ...
The idea here is to eliminate places where ticks can lay in wait for a host. If the area or yard is fenced, repair holes to prevent wild animals from running through the yard. If possible, create barriers to eliminate wildlife traffic that are bringing in and dropping fleas or acting as...
you should have more than enough units to prevent him from reaching half of the path. If you are still confused, look at our images and copy us (don’t worry, we won’t mind).
Beekeeping is less amenable to efficiency increase than many other agricultural enterprises.With the advent of the moveable-frame hive in 1851 followed by the smoker and extractor, most beekeeping technology is still a 19thcentury phenomenon.Only the development of Instrumental Insemination is a 20thcen...

The small hive beetle (SHB) is a parasite and scavenger of honey bee colonies. It has recently become an invasive species creating the need for an efficient and reliable detection method. We present a method to screen hive debris for the presence of SHB using real-time PCR in conjunction ...
Charlene, a beekeeper in Georgia, described the nightmare she discovered in her only hive. After a summer trip to Nashville, she returned to find foul-smelling honey reminiscent of acetone pooling on the varroa drawer. From there it had sluiced off the edges in viscous globs that rolled in ...

Educational research often focuses on insects in general or other insect families, such as ants, beetles, or butterflies. Overall, students have a rather limited knowledge and, often, misconceptions about insects. However, advanced elementary students know more than younger students regarding insect ...
