Toxicogenomics of Apis Mellifera
… Certain beekeeping practices, including miticide use and artificial feeding supplements, may affect the ability of bees to process xenobiotics. Studies conducted for this dissertation suggest that deeper understanding of honey bee toxicology may contribute to improving management …

The Effects of Miticides on the Reproductive Physiology of Honey Bee (Apis mellifera L.) Queens and Drones
The effects of miticides on the reproductive physiology of queens and drones were examined. The first study examined the effects of Apistan (fluvalinate), Check Mite+ (coumaphos), and Apilife VAR (74% thymol) on sperm production and viability in drones. Drones from colonies treated with each …

Efficacy of Botanical and Mineral Oils on Willamette Mite (Acari: Tetranychidae)
… on grape include nearly ten registered synthetic miticides, plus soaps and oils. Oils can be petroleum based (mineral oil) or botanical (from seeds of various plants). There has been a lot of interest of late in the use of botanical oils other than soybean, including those derived from the seeds …

Field and laboratory evaluation of the interactions between pesticides and the gut microbiome in Honey Bees (Apis mellifera)
… or in the hive colony (e.g. Tau-fluvalinate, a miticide commonly used to treat Varroa mite parasites). Similar to most organisms, the gut microbiome is important for bee health, metabolism, and behavior, however it is not well known how environmental factors like pesticides impact their gut …

Is organic beekeeping possible? A multi-year study of pesticide contamination and landscape effects in the Northeast US
… primarily due to the absence of the synthetic miticide amitraz and its degradates. Honey from our organically managed colonies was comparable in contamination to purchased organic honey. Despite organic management, we detected low levels of synthetic miticides (amitraz, coumaphos) in honey and …

Development of a Precision Mite Management Program for the Control of the Ectoparasite Varroa destructor in Hives of Apis mellifera L.
… mite relied heavily on regular application of miticides without regard to actual mite infestation levels. This approach has led to problems of resistance in the mite and contamination of the hive and hive-products. Because it is unlikely that miticides will be removed as an option for mite …

The Effects of Pesticide Exposures on the Nutritional and Immune Health of the Honey Bee, Apis mellifera L.
The honey bee is a widely managed crop pollinator that provides the agricultural industry with the sustainability and economic viability needed to satisfy the food and fiber needs of our society. Excessive use of agrochemicals such as the acaricides coumaphos and tau-fluvalinate, and the fungicide, …
