Small hive beetles (SHBs) are a global pest of European honeybee colonies. In the laboratory, the survival of adult SHBs was evaluated in relation to relative humidity (RH = 56, 64, 73, 82 and 96 %) and treatment with diatomaceous earth (DE) across 4 days. Low RH reduced survival. ...
Small hive beetles, honeybees, yeast and plants: evolution of an insect pest The Small hive beetle, Aethina tumida, is seemingly an anomaly among Nitidulids because it thrives in honeybee hives feeding on pollen and bee brood. Attra... P Teal 被引量: 0发表: 0年 High and rapid ...
Beekeepers need to be aware of small hive beetles, especially if the pests are endemic in their local areas. In my location of Piedmont Virginia, I regard small hive beetles as more of a problem than the greater wax moths. Quite often the beetles will out compete the wax moths for unprot...

Honey bee゛ssociated bacteria were identified from the small hive beetles, which may facilitate the beetle thriving in the bee hive. At the mean time, the honey bee virus colonize and replicate in SHBs, dispersion of host virus by social parasites to floral resources and hives, providing ...

Small hive beetles (SHBs) are generalists native to sub-Saharan Africa and reproduce in association with honeybees, bumblebees, stingless bees, fruits and meat. The SHB has recently become an invasive species, and introductions have been recorded from America, Australia, Europe and Asia since 199...

The guard age and duration of European (Apis meilifera) and Cape (A m. capensis) honey bees guarding small hive beetles (Aethina tumida) were determined using 3frame observation hives, noting the commencement and termination of beetle guarding by individually labelled honey bees. European honey be...
