Temperature as an early warning signal of honeybee colony failure How to identify ecological systems at risk of failure is a central question of modern biology and agriculture. Due to human impacts and global change,…

We developed a simple method to detect bee colony failure using a single temperature sensor per hive and that is not dependent on the season. Tested on 96 bee colonies from three apiaries.

Honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) and wild bee resource competition: how big is this problem? Abstract. The Western honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) has been managed by humans for centuries for honey, wax, and most recently, crop pollination. The deep

Honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) and wild bee resource competition: how big is this problem?

Spoiler: not a very big problem.
