Honeybees have an irreplaceable position in agricultural production and the stabilization of
natural ecosystems. Unfortunately, honeybee populations have been declining globally …

High winter mortality of honey bees (Apis mellifera) has been observed in temperate regions
over the past 30 years. Several biotic and abiotic stressors associated with winter colony …

The worldwide decline in honeybee colonies during the past 50 years has often been linked
to the spread of the parasitic mite Varroa destructor and its interaction with certain honeybee …

We construct a mathematical model to quantify the loss of resilience in collapsing honey bee
colonies due to the presence of a strong Allee effect. In the model, recruitment and mortality …

Honeybees play an important role in the production of many agricultural crops and in
sustaining plant diversity in undisturbed ecosystems. The rapid decline of honeybee …

Honeybees are important plant pollinators. Unfortunately, there is a growing increase in the
loss of honeybee colonies, and this is having a serious economic impact on crop farmers. A …

A mathematical model for the honeybee–varroa mite–ABPV system is proposed in terms of
four differential equations for the: infected and uninfected bees in the colony, number of …

Honeybees (Apis mellifera) play a significant role in the pollination of various food crops and
plants. In the past decades, honeybee management has been challenged with increased …

Beekeepers universally agree that ensuring sufficient ventilation is vital for sustaining a
thriving, healthy honeybee colony. Despite this fact, surprisingly little is known about the …

Age structure is an important feature of the division of labour within honeybee colonies, but
its effects on colony dynamics have rarely been explored. We present a model of a …
