Behavioral Modulation of Infestation by Varroa destructor in Bee Colonies. Implications for Colony Stability.
Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) has become a global problem for beekeepers and for the crops that depend on bee pollination. While many factors are known to increase the risk of colony collapse, the ectoparasitic mite Varroa destructor is considered to be the most serious one. Although this mite is u...
