Honey bee colony losses are a major concern in the USA and across the globe. Long-term data on losses
are critical for putting yearly losses in context. US colony loss surveys have been conducted yearly since the winter
of 2006–2007. Here, we report the results from the eighth annual survey...

Farmers rely almost exclusively on the imported European honeybee (Apis mellifera L.)
for fruit and vegetable crop pollination services. The recent decline in honeybee health
has underscored the danger of relying on a single species to provide vital services.
Increasing pollinator biodiversity with native bees may provide biological insurance
against...

Acarapis mites have been present in the United States since 1984 and are presently considered a threat to honey bee populations in North America. They have
been present in Europe since 1921 where infestation rates have now dwindled to a
level that is not considered dangerous. Consequently, accurate information on...

Presence of Migrating Tracheal Mites.” Apidologie, 2005
Biodiversity continues to decline in the face of increasing anthropogenic pressures such as habitat destruction, exploitation, pollution and introduction of alien species. Existing global databases of species’ threat status or population time series are dominated by charismatic species. The collation of datasets with broad taxonomic and biogeographic extents, and that...
