#Why are Newfoundland s honey bees parasite free? Penn State rightoriginal Studyposted by Sara Lajeunesse-Penn State on July 3 2014some honey bee colonies in Newfoundland Canada are free of invasive parasites found elsewhere in the world.
Scientists say the discovery offers a unique opportunity to investigate honey bee health. nvasive parasitesâ##such as Nosema ceranae a fungus
and Varroa destructor a miteâ##have incurred heavy economic penalties on the honey bee industry via colony losses
to specific parasite species is difficult to assess however because of the occurrence of multiple parasites within honey bees.
and her colleagues found a geographical area in Newfoundland in which a number of important invasive honey bee parasites including Varroa destructor
and parasites of honey bees along with various stressors such as pesticide exposure with the goal of providing information to help keep honey bees healthy. ur ability to find European honey bee populations free of invasive

And scientists say this may help explain why honey bee populations are declining. e usually think of animals chemical signals (called pheromones) as communication systems that convey only very simple sorts of informationsays Christina Grozinger professor of entomology
and director of the Center for Pollinator Research at Penn State. owever this study demonstrates that queen honey bees are conveying a lot of nuanced information through their pheromones. n addition until now no one knew
and tests have demonstrated that even the sensitive honeybee is unaffected, ##Davis said. The two##real reasons##nobody has moved ahead with SBSP,
Honeybees pollinate nearlyone-third of the food we eat but they have been dying at unprecedented rates because of a mysterious phenomenon known as colony collapse disorder (CCD).
Honeybees alone contribute more than $15 billion in value to U s. agricultural crops each year. But Robobees are not yet a viable technological solution.
the tiny bots have to be able to fly on their own andtalk to one another to carry out tasks like a real honeybee hive.
Will robot bees eventually be able to operate like honeybee hives to pollinate commercial crops? Ma:
You could replace a hive of honeybees that would otherwise be working on a field of flowers.
#Could bacteria from honeybees replace antibiotics? Bacteria are increasingly outsmarting our most overused antibiotics creating a boom of drug-resistant diseases.
Researchers in Sweden recently discovered a unique group of lactic acid bacteria living inside honeybees'honey stomachs an enlarged section of esophagus where the insects store nectar while foraging.
These bacteria represent one of the greatest symbiotic flora ever found in a single organism the researchers write protecting all honeybee species
and microbial threats that varies with season and honeybee health. This study bodes well for developing countries given the availability of fresh honey

The researchers have provided specific data on camera settings for commonly studied animals, such as humans, blue tits, peafowl, honey bees, ferrets and some fish.
The White house released its National Strategy to Promote the Health of Honey bees and Other Pollinators, calling for the restoration or enhancement of 7 million acres of land for pollinators over the next five years through federal actions and public/private partnerships.
