Foraging Behavior Of Honeybees Exposed To Mosquito Insecticides, Samantha Marie Diel
Foraging Behavior Of Honeybees Exposed To Mosquito Insecticides, Samantha Marie Diel
Cal Poly Humboldt theses and projects
The main aim of this study was to quantify the effects of mosquito insecticides on honey bee (Apis mellifera), foraging behavior, explicitly assessing the impacts of adult mosquito control practices on honey bee health. The extent to which honey bees are exposed to pyrethrum, pyrethrins, permethrin, and pyrethroids is unknown, as are their effects on honey bee health and vitality. This study sought to answer this question by exposing honey bees to D-Phenothrin with the addition of Piperonyl butoxide (PBO), one of many synthetic pyrethroids widely used against adult mosquitoes to control mosquito-borne diseases. Honey bees were exposed to …
Why We Still Need To Worry About Bees, Meaghan Lee Callaghan
Why We Still Need To Worry About Bees, Meaghan Lee Callaghan
Capstones
American honey bees, and other native bee species, are still in decline, though the specter of colony collapse disorder may be fading behind us. Colony decline, the loss of bees overwinter experienced across the country at a quarter to third lost per hive (sometimes more), is now expected. Losses can include those from colony collapse disorder. The author discusses the different causes for colony decline and speaks to bee health scientists and local beekeepers.

A Plan For Pollinator Landscape Management On The Ursinus Campus, Megan N. Hanscom
A Plan For Pollinator Landscape Management On The Ursinus Campus, Megan N. Hanscom
Environment and Sustainability Honors Papers
Due to increased pollinator decline over the past decade, colleges and universities are developing pollinator management plans to help combat pollinator loss. Pollinators, and more specifically bees, are vital members of local ecosystems and protection efforts are greatly needed. This plan was created to address the needs of Ursinus College pollinators using relevant suggestions from pollinator research and existing protection plans. This plan includes suggestions for increased pollinator habitat on campus, ways to reduce pollinator stressors, and ways that the Ursinus community can positively impact pollinator health.

Bulletins 4000 -
Pollination of horticultural and agricultural crops is being recognised throughout Australia by quality growers who wish to improve crop quality and quantity, to increase their returns from produce sold on local and export markets. Some growers are able to target specific high value markets using planned pollination to maximise their income.

Effect On Bees Of Insecticides Used On Rape, A C. Kessell
Effect On Bees Of Insecticides Used On Rape, A C. Kessell
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Rapeseed could provide beekeepers in Western Australia with a valuable new honey crop—hut insecticidal spraying of rape at flowering time is a potentially serious threat to most commercial beekeepers.
There are indications that insect pollination may improve rapeseed yields, so both growers and beekeepers could gain from a co-operative approach to the problem. Spraying after sundown and preventing spray drift to nearby apiaries should avoid most losses.

The Vital Role Of Bees In Apple Pollination, N H. Shorter

THE vital role the honey bee plays in pollinating apples is often overlooked.
Bees are the most important agents for cross pollination in apples and other fruit trees.
Evicting Bees From Houses, A C. Kessell
Evicting Bees From Houses, A C. Kessell
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
EACH year the Apicultural Branch receives several inquiries from harassed householders about how to get rid of bee colonies which have nested in houses.
Cavity walls often provide cosy quarters for swarms seeking: a home, while others establish themselves in chimneys, ventilators and under floors.
