The mite Varroa destructor Anderson & Trueman is a parasite of the honeybee Apis mellifera L. and represents a major threat for apiculture in the Western world. Reproduction takes place only inside bee brood cells
that are invaded just before sealing; drone cells are preferred over worker cells, whereas queen cells are not normally invaded.
Lower incidence of mites in queen cells is at least partly due to the deterrent activity of royal jelly. In this study, the
repellent properties of royal jelly were investigated using a lab bioassay. Chemical analysis showed that octanoic acid is
a major volatile component of royal jelly; by contrast, the concentration is much lower in drone and worker larval food. Bioassays,
carried out under lab conditions, demonstrated that octanoic acid is repellent to the mite. Field studies in bee colonies
confirmed that the compound may interfere with the process of cell invasion by the mite. 相似文献

Support to small farmers is at the heart of the fight against poverty. However, the continuous provision of support poses a major challenge which greatly affects the sustainability of development-related projects. Using a research and education approach, in which beekeeping was introduced into the curriculum of two secondary schools, we tested the potential of knowledge transfer as a means of promoting beekeeping. In this paper, we show that, with an educational program tailored to the audience needs, knowledge transfer and self-start-ups ensure better sustainability than material support. We further discuss the implications of these results in the sustenance of beekeeping as a development-related activity. 相似文献
