Apicultura en Florida

Idiomas disponibles:

Español

Las abejas melíferas son conocidas por ser el eslabón más fuerte de la cadena entre los productores de alimentos y los consumidores. Ellas contribuyen con casi $20 mil millones a la industria del cultivo proveyendo servicios de polinización en todos los Estados Unidos y particularmente la industria de la miel en Florida está entre las cinco mejores de toda la nación. Hay cerca de 5 mil apicultores registrados en el estado que gerencian aproximadamente 630 000 colonias. Desafortunadamente, se han reportado altas tasas de pérdidas de colonias en todo el mundo. Factores estresantes como el parásito Varroa destructor, la calidad de las reinas y otros relacionados con la nutrición son algunos de los relacionados con este declive. Muchos investigadores han estado trabajando para identificar las mejores formas de manejo para mitigar estas pérdidas. Todas las recomendaciones en estas publicaciones están basadas en literatura científica sobre las abejas melíferas en Florida y el mundo.

Monitoring for Amoebic Disease (Malpighamoeba mellificae) in Honey Bee Colonies

Hannah N. Gurland, James C. Fulton, Marley E. Iredale, Amy Vu, and Julia St. Amant

Digestive health is an overlooked but vital component of the success of Western honey bee (Apis mellifera) colonies. Viral, bacterial, fungal, and protozoal infections can inhibit nutrient uptake and waste elimination by the honey bee digestive tract. Active management requires monitoring honey bee health on an individual and colony basis, providing adequate nutrition, and controlling for other pests and diseases. One organism that has gained recent attention is Malpighamoeba mellificae. This publication describes how to detect M. mellificae in A. mellifera colonies.

Megan Hammond, Amy T. Vu, Mary Bammer, Emily Helton, Karen Henry, Jessica Sullivan, and James D. Ellis

The purpose of this publication is to provide a 4-H project book that discusses honey bees and their importance to our nation’s agriculture. The intent is to introduce the world of honey bees to youth ages 8 to 12, with or without any previous beekeeping background or knowledge. This book consists of six sections that familiarize youth with the honey bee’s basic anatomy and life cycle, the three members of the honey bee colony, their roles and responsibilities, and colony communication. Each section has been designed to give youth a brief introduction to a topic and offers activities building on that topic. Written by Megan Hammond, Amy T. Vu, Mary Bammer, Emily Helton, Karen Henry, Jessica Sullivan, and James D. Ellis; 56 pp.
