IDENTIFICATION AND ROLEX OF NON-PATHOGENIC MICROFLORA ASSOCIATED WITH HONEY
BEES
Author(s):
GILLIAM MARTHA A
Interpretive Summary:
This invitational review summarizes research results on bacteria,
molds, and yeasts associated with healthy bees and their food. Over
6,000 microbial strains have been isolated and identified from these
sources by the author. Microorganisms contribute intestinal
biochemicals to honey bees, aid in the chemical conversion and
preservation of pollen stored as bee bread in comb cells, and produce
antimycotic substances that inhibit the fungus that causes chalkbrood
disease in honey bees. A relationship has evolved with bees including
honey bees, stingless bees, and solitary bees from tropical and
temperate zones and spore-forming bacteria belonging to the genus
Bacillus. Female bees inoculate food sources with these bacteria whose
chemical products contribute to the elaboration and the protection from
spoilage of food that is stored in the nest. This association is
ancient based on results from stingless bees preserved in amber for 25
to 40 million years. Bees, their products, and their associated
microorganisms are novel potential sources of bioactive products
including antibiotics and should be included in industry screening
programs in this era of increasing resistance of human pathogens to
available antimicrobial compounds.

aol-mondoapi: Frequenza api
Da:
"pzorzan@libero.it"pzorzan@
Mi sto interessando alla frequenza del ronzio delle api. Ho sentito
parlare di un misuratore di frequenza che potrebbe avvisare dell'inizio
della sciamatura con ben 21 giorni di anticipo. Qualcuno mi sa dire
qualcosa in pi˜? magari qualcuno ha provato ad usare questo strumento?
Grazie

THE USE OF A STEROL INHIBITOR TO CONTROL THE GREATER WAX MOTH GALLERIA
MELLONELLA
Author(s):
FELDLAUFER MARK F

SHIMANUKI HACHIRO
Interpretive Summary:
The greater wax moth is a serious pest of honey bee products that
contain wax, like honeycomb. We have been able to protect honeycomb by
treating it with a compound that inhibits a nutrient required by the
wax moth, but does not affect honey bees. This product should be of
interest to commercial and hobbyist beekeepers, State Apiary
inspectors, individuals involved in extension, as well as growers that
depend upon a supply of honey bees for pollination.
