Consequences of coumaphos and Varroa destructor on drone honey bee sperm quantityDelaney, Deborah Anne 10 December 2003 (has links)
The number of drones and genetic diversity among drones are
essential components to a well mated queen. Varroa destructor
preferentially parasitizes drone brood, and is thought to be
responsible for the loss of feral populations that once provided
additional drones for honey bee mating areas. It is necessary to
use miticides (e.g. coumaphos) in managed colonies to control V.
destructor. Little is known about the sublethal effects of these
compounds, which are directly introduced into the hive. In
response to growing concerns about the successful mating of honey
bee queens, drone honey bees were exposed to coumaphos, during
drone development. Sperm and seminal vesicles were sampled
among drones that were exposed to coumaphos and drones that
were not exposed to coumaphos, but were parasitized by Varroa
destructor. There were no significant differences found between the
two treatments in terms of seminal vesicle size and sperm
numbers. These results indicate that drones parasitized by V.
destructor have similar sperm quantities as drones exposed to
coumaphos. / Graduation date: 2004

Monitoring intenzity varroázy a varroatolerance včely medonosné (\kur{Apis mellifera}) na Příbramsku / Varroamonitoring and varroatolerance of Honey bee (\kur{Apis mellifera}) in environs of the city PříbramBOUČKOVÁ, Šárka January 2011 (has links)
This thesis is focused on the research of the varroatosis disease. In the theoretical part of the thesis I describe the parasitic mite Varroa destructor and its way of infestation. The goal was to document any knowledge gathered on the subject so far and the possibilities of bee vaccination. The practical part of this work included Varroa destructor occurrence monitoring within single hives. The monitoring was carried out in three localities. Localities was called Nedrahovice, Rybník and Kvašťov. The goal was to identify singular hive tolerance to the mite in the various localities based on the strength of the parasitic mite attack. While the hives of the Rybník locality were found to be the most tolerant, the hives of the Nedrahovice locality were found to be the least tolerant of all.
