Monitoring colony phenology using within-day variability in continuous weight and temperature of honey bee hives

Comparing symptoms between bees from CCD apiaries and non-CCD apiaries revealed that CCD apiaries tended to have partially filled rectums, soft fecal matter, rectal enteroliths

The nodular pattern suggests craniopharyngioma and the curvilinear pattern suggests pituitary adenoma (Figure 1 and 2) or rarely a calcified Rathke cleft

The results demonstrated that both brood and the queen were necessary to inhibit ovary development in adult worker bees, and that this effect had a pheromonal basis. In

None of the 16 colonies from the two api- aries located in an EFB free area showed positive results in the specific PCR, neither in brood nest samples nor in bees collected at the

hives had large amounts of adult bees and brood relative to 2005 data, with associated food demands, resulting in little gain in food stores and thus little change in WCRAW, de- spite
