Article Synopsis
- The study explores the health of managed honey bees in Lambayeque, Peru, focusing on factors like management practices and beekeeper traits that affect bee health.
- Results indicate significant pesticide contamination in bee bread, with 67% of samples showing residues from chemicals like chlorpyrifos and carbendazim, largely due to increased agricultural land use.
- Insufficient beekeeper training in best practices contributes to weakened bee colonies and high Varroa mite infestation, revealing the negative impact of human activities on honey bee populations in this coastal region.
Management, brood nest structure and factors associated with varroa mite infestation were studied in 60 apiaries of Africanized honey bees in the northwest region of the Central Valley of Costa Rica. Apiaries were monitored two times. The first monitoring was taken forward during the rainy season between May and November 2019.
