Butz Huryn--Honey bees and native flora
A review of the literature indicated that honey bees collect pollen or nectar from 224 native plant taxa including 188 species, 119 genera, and 67 families in New Zealand. However, only 12 families contain the majority of honey bee forage sources. Plant taxa providing surplus quantities of honey and taxa with most citations were used to indicate intensity of honey bee use and revealed that only a very small proportion is used intensively. Potential effects on animal species overlapping in resource use with honey bees in the few specialised plant-pollinator relationships in New Zealand are discussed as well as potential impacts on the native flora. Forage sources used by honey bees are compared with those plants known or suspected to be threatened or rare. [eng] |

Real-Time Monitoring of MPCA Hazards to Honey Bees in a Microbial Containmeent Flight Chamber
Honey bees (Apis mellifera L., Hymenoptera: Apidae) are important producers of honey, wax, and other products. Bees also serve as supplemental pollinators of most entomophilous crops. Therefore, the United States Environmental Protection Agency requires testing to assess the hazards of chemical and biological pesticides to this non-target species. Unlike chemical pesticides, microbial pest control agents (MPCAs) are self-propagating and dispersive. Our challenge is to assess the hazards of MPCAs to bee colony health and productivity while safeguarding the external environment. Our objectives are to provide adequate containment during testing, devices to continuously evaluate several pathogenic endpoints, and methods that provide estimates of data uncertainty and assist data interpretation and analysis.
