Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions from Honey Production: Two-Year Survey in Italian Beekeeping Farms.

The objective of this study was to quantify the climate change (CC) impact of the honey supply chain in different beekeeping systems and farms, over two consecutive years. The CC impact category is quantified as kg CO equivalent and it evaluates the GHG emissions, mainly CO, NO, and CH. The results ranged from 0.

Powdered Sugar Examination as a Tool for the Assessment of Infection Levels in Honey Bee Colonies.

American Foulbrood (AFB) is a contagious and severe brood disease of honey bees caused by the spore-forming bacterium . The identification of honey bee colonies infected by is crucial for the effective control of AFB. We studied the possibility of identifying the infection levels by in honey bee colonies through the examination of powdered sugar samples collected in the hives.

Whole-Genome Sequence Analysis of Italian Honeybees ().

At the end of the last glaciation, was established in northern Europe. In Italy, adapted to the mild climate and to the rich floristic biodiversity. Today, with the spread of and with the increasing use of pesticides in agriculture, the Ligustica subspecies is increasingly dependent on human action for its survival.

Chemical Characterization of the Volatiles of Leaves and Flowers from Cultivated Malva sylvestris var. mauritiana and their Antimicrobial Activity Against the Aetiological Agents of the European and American Foulbrood of Honeybees (Apis melfifera).

The composition of the volatile fraction of Malva sylvestris var. mauritiana (L.) Boiss.

Volatile constituents of Trifolium pratense spp. nivale quantified at different growth stages, and evaluation of their antimicrobial activity.

The composition of the volatile fraction of Trifolium pratense L. ssp. nivale (Sieber) Asch.

Determination of the volatile fraction of Polygonum bistorta L. at different growing stages and evaluation of its antimicrobial activity against two major honeybee (Apis mellifera) pathogens.

The composition of the volatile fraction of Polygonum bistorta L. (also known as bistort or snakeroot) was investigated. Fresh aerial parts of this plant species were collected in the Western Italian Alps during the summer at three different phenological stages, namely vegetative, flowering, and fruiting, and steam-distilled in a Clevenger-type apparatus.
