Honeybee Colony

Honey bees (Apis mellifera) are essential for the ecosystem, so their loss threatens biodiversity and agriculture. Several factors have been proposed as possible causes of both massive losses and Colony Collapse Disorder. In August 2017 episodes of colony losses were registered in General Alvear, Buenos Aires province. The aim of the present study was to find possible causes of these events. The samples were screened for presence of several pathogens and the determination of maternal lineages was also performed. Seven out of ten colonies were positive for pathogens, but there was no high prevalence of any of them. It will be necessary to carry out a standardization of studies, and delineate boundaries that allow comparing cases in order to discriminate different types of mortality of colonies that occur worldwide.

Bees play a vital role in saving environment as they are the paramount agricultural pollinators and are the prior pollinators in the tropical ecosystem. Now a days, bees are in trouble as they are suffering from a mysterious condition known as colony collapse disorder in which honeybees leave their hives but fail to return back there because of the environmental activities done by the human. It caused a tremendous drop in the number of bees around the globe. The main reasons behind it are massive use of pesticides in agriculture, trading of bees by the humans and electromagnetic radiation emitted by the portable devices. In this research paper, importance of honeybees and the reason behind their disappearance has been studied.
