Single and interactive effects of Varroa destructor, Nosema spp., and imidacloprid on honey bee colonies (Apis mellifera)

Abstract: Citation: van Dooremalen, C., B. Cornelissen, C. Poleij-Hok-Ahin, and T. Blacqui ere. 2018. Single and interactive effects of Varroa destructor, Nosema spp., and imidacloprid on honey bee colonies (Apis mellifera). Ecosphere 9(8):Abstract. High losses of honey bee colonies in recent decades are of great societal and economical concern and experienced as a sign of the vulnerability of the environment, including the service of crop pollination, and of the beekeeping sector. There is no single cause for the colon… Show more

“…The observed increase in the amount of brood in response to a stressor has previously been described for Varroa destructor infested colonies [14], where larger colonies in the autumn were more likely to die the following year. A bee colony is an adaptable unit that uses brood rearing as one of the mechanisms to respond to external and internal stimuli, through both positive and negative feedback loops [60].…”

“…At the same time, beekeepers worldwide are experiencing increased winter and seasonal colony losses [4][5][6][7]. Such losses stem from a combination of parasites and diseases, poor nutrition, inadequate beekeeping management practices and pesticide exposure; both individually and synergistically [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16].…”

“…Amongst the many factors potentially impacting honey bee health and thus pollination services, invasive parasitic species, e.g. introduced by global trade in honey bees and related products such as wax and honey (Chanpanitkitchote et al, ; Krongdang, Evans, Chen, Mookhploy, & Chantawannakul, ; Neumann, Pettis, & Schäfer, ; Ouessou Idrissou, Huang, Yañez, & Neumann, ; Schäfer et al, ), can play a key role (Neumann et al, ; Potts, Biemeijer, et al, ; Rosenkranz, Aumeier, & Ziegelmann, ; van Dooremalen, Cornelissen, Poleij‐Hok‐Ahin, & Blacquière, ). However, knowledge of the potential effects of climate change on such species is currently lacking (Le Conte & Navajas, ).…”

“…Even though Varroa-infestation rates were moderate (1-2%), the likelihood of these infested colonies to survive winter would have already been compromised [22]. Based on these infestation rates and an assumed doubling of mites between August and September, the likelihood of colony collapse during the following winter would have been 25-60%.…”
