Standard methods for rearing and selection of Apis mellifera queens
- R. Büchler, S. Andonov, +7 authors J. Wilde
- Biology
- 1 January 2013
Summary Here we cover a wide range of methods currently in use and recommended in modern queen rearing, selection and breeding. The recommendations are meant to equally serve as standards for both… Expand
Apis mellifera mellifera in eastern Europe — morphometric variation and determination of its range limits
- M. Meixner, M. Worobik, J. Wilde, S. Fuchs, N. Koeniger
- Biology
- Apidologie
- 1 March 2007
The variability of Apis mellifera mellifera in Eastern Europe was investigated with a morphometric analysis of 136 samples from Poland, Belarus and the Ukraine. Samples from the northern part of this… Expand
The influence of genetic origin and its interaction with environmental effects on the survival of Apis mellifera L. colonies in Europe
- R. Büchler, Cecília Costa, +16 authors J. Wilde
- Biology
- 1 January 2014
Summary The survival and performance of 597 honey bee colonies, representing five subspecies and 16 different genotypes, were comparatively studied in 20 apiaries across Europe. Started in October… Expand
Open-air-nesting honey bees Apis dorsata and Apis laboriosa differ from the cavity-nesting Apis mellifera and Apis cerana in brood hygiene behaviour.

- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of invertebrate pathology
- 1 May 2004
The cavity-nesting Apis mellifera and Apis cerana bees detect, uncap, and remove diseased brood. The hygiene behaviour of open-air-nesting bees Apis dorsata and Apis laboriosa was investigated in… Expand
Occurrence of parasites and pathogens in honey bee colonies used in a European genotype-environment interactions experiment
- M. Meixner, R. Francis, +23 authors J. Wilde
- Biology
- 1 January 2014
Summary Diseases are known to be one of the major contributors to colony losses. Within a Europe-wide experiment on genotype—environment interactions, an initial 621 colonies were set up and… Expand
The genetic origin of honey bee colonies used in the COLOSS Genotype-Environment Interactions Experiment: a comparison of methods
- R. Francis, P. Kryger, +17 authors J. Wilde
- Biology
- 1 January 2014
Summary The COLOSS GEI (Genotype-Environment Interactions) Experiment was setup to further our understanding of recent honey bee colony losses. The main objective of the GEI experiment was to… Expand
Apis dorsata drone flights, collection of semen from everted endophalli and instrumental insemination of queens
Jusqu'a present personne n'a preleve de sperme dans l'endophallus en eversion des mâles d'Apis dorsata. Le volume de sperme produit est egalement inconnu, vraisemblablement par meconnaissance du… Expand
Temperature correlated dorso-ventral abdomen flipping of Apis laboriosa and Apis dorsata worker bees
Observations were conducted in Nepal, on A. laboriosa nests in the Himalayas, and A. dorsata in Rampur, Chitwan. At low temperatures, A. laboriosa worker bees of the whole nest curtain repeatedly… Expand
Swarming, defensive and hygienic behaviour in honey bee colonies of different genetic origin in a pan-European experiment
- Aleksandar Uzunov, C. Costa, +18 authors R. Büchler
- Biology
- 1 January 2014
Summary Honey bee colonies exhibit a wide range of variation in their behaviour, depending on their genetic origin and environmental factors. The COLOSS Genotype-Environment Interactions Experiment… Expand
