Apicultura en Florida
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.
