Investigating the morphological adaptations and fungal associations of the small hive beetle, Aethina tumida Murray (Coleoptera: Nitidulidae)
The small hive beetle, Aethina tumida Murray (Coleoptera: Nitidulidae) (SHB) acts as a facultative hive pest of the western honey bee, Apis mellifera L. (Hymenoptera: Apidae). Drawn to honey bee hives by volatiles from the yeast Kodamaea ohmeri (Ascomycota: Saccharomycotina), the beetles must avoid …
