Download or read book Pollen Traps as a Beekeeping Integrated Pest Management Tool Their Use in IPM for Varroa Mite Control and for Reducing the Impact of Microencapsulated Pesticides on Honey Bee Colonies written by and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Honey bee (Apis mellifera) colonies were equipped with pollen traps obtained from the CC pollen company. One set of studies compared bee deaths and pesticide residues in pollen trap-treated colonies with untreated control colonies placed near agricultural fields that were sprayed with microencapsulated methyl parathion (Penncap-M®). A second set of studies examined the effect of the pollen traps on varroa mite (Varroa destructor) populations compared with mite populations in control colonies that were treated with the labeled chemical treatment for varroa mites. Pesticide Studies: The pesticide studies were in response to the problem of bee deaths due to poisoning by microencapsulated methyl parathion. The microcapsules are in the size range of pollen grains and poisoning became a problem in fruit orchards where the pesticide drifted onto blooming ground cover where it was accidentally collected along with pollen by foraging honey bees. The studies showed that the microencapsulated pesticide persisted on orchard ground cover (clover) for several days after the pesticide was sprayed. The pesticide was also in the pollen loads that were removed from foragers by the pollen traps, and in the bees that were dying as a result of the pesticide spray. The presence of the pollen traps did not significantly reduce bee deaths or pesticide residues in the treated colonies. The pesticide studies also showed that under drought conditions, blooming orchard ground cover plants such as clover may be sufficiently unattractive to foraging honey bees to prevent the expected pesticide poisoning that would normally occur after a Penncap-M® spray. In such cases drought may be an IPM tool for managing bee colonies in some potentially dangerous agricultural settings. Varroa mite studies: The varroa mite studies were in response to the enormous problem of the varroa mite parasite which, over the past twelve years, has killed virtually all feral honey bee colonies and reduced the nu.
Download or read book The Use of Pollen Traps and Pollen Supplements in Developing Honeybee Colonies Classic Reprint written by C. W. Schaefer and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2019-01-27 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Use of Pollen Traps and Pollen Supplements in Developing Honeybee Colonies The bees usually require several days to become accustomed to the trap. The pollen trapped during the first week will be below normal, thus making it desirable to leave the traps on the same hives rather than shifting them to different hives in the apiary. Colonies equipped with pollen traps will rear some brood but brood rearing will be curtailed. They may be given combs of pollen from other colonies to keep up their production, but good colonies at the beginning of the season will survive and may produce some honey. They can be united at the end of the season. Figure 6 shows a pollen tray, about two-thirds full of pollen, re moved from the trap. The pollen should be removed every 2 or 3 days under ordinary conditions and more often when the humidity is high or when the pollen is unusually moist. The pollen should be Spread out to a depth of to inch for air drying. To prevent molding, moist pollen can be dried rapidly in an improvised oven heated with electric light bulbs The oven may be constructed from a large fiber carton equipped with a rack to support five or six trays which consist of wooden rims covered with cheesecloth. The pollen should be Spread in a thin layer on the trays to allow the warm air which is generated at the bottom to pass through each tray and escape from an Opening in the top of the oven.

Book excerpt: Since 1973, tens of thousands of first-time and experienced beekeepers alike have relied on The Beekeeper's Handbook as the best single-volume guide to the hobby and profession of beekeeping. Featuring clear descriptions and authoritative content, this handbook provides step-by-step directions accompanied by more than 100 illustrations for setting up an apiary, handling bees, and working throughout the season to maintain a healthy colony of bees and a generous supply of honey. This book explains the various colony care options and techniques, noting advantages and disadvantages, so that beekeepers can make the best choices for their own hives. This fourth edition has been thoroughly redesigned, expanded, updated, and revised to incorporate the latest information on Colony Collapse Disorder, green IPM methods, regional overwintering protocols, and procedures for handling bees and managing diseases and pests such as African honey bees and bee mites. The book explains not only how but also why each step is part of the transformative process that results in the magnificent creation of honey. This essential guide is a beekeeper's most valuable resource. Colony Collapse Disorder has renewed our recognition of the importance of small-scale beekeeping and the critical role of bees in the production of our food supply. For the growing number of beekeepers looking to set up hives for either a rewarding hobby or a profitable commercial enterprise, this updated and revised essential how-to guide includes: step-by-step directions for all stages from setting up an apiary to harvesting honey; approximately 100 illustrations featuring techniques, equipment, and bee biology; information about how to manage new pests and diseases including Colony Collapse Disorder; coverage of new trends and changes in beekeeping including green IPM techniques and new laws for urban beekeeping; the most up-to-date bibliography and list of resources on the topic; and a new user-friendly book design that clearly highlights instructions and other important features.
