_____________ Hymenoptera 12- Honey Bees

                                                     HONEY BEE Apis mellifera (WORKER)

                                                      HONEY BEE Apis mellifera (WORKER)

• Honey Bees have been suffering severe population crashes recently. One reason for this is parasitism by the Varroa jacobsoni mite, but there may be other as yet inadequately explained causes of this decline. An authoritative account of the effect of this mite (in the USA, although the same principles apply elsewhere) may be found at: http://www.ca.uky.edu/entomology/entfacts/ef608.asp

• The biology of these bees and many other species have been described in detail in David Baldock's 'Bees of Surrey', a book that will be of value to hymenopterists throughout the UK and possibly in northern Europe.
