In this study, the carbohydrate composition of high-fructose corn syrups (HFCS) from
commercial manufacturers as well as from beekeepers was characterized by GC-MS. Sucrose …

Internal temperatures of honey bee hives kept at different sites in North Dakota were monitored
before and during winter to evaluate the effects of treatment, in the form of exposure to …

Honey bee colony feeding trials were conducted to determine whether differential effects of
carbohydrate feeding (sucrose syrup (SS) vs. high fructose corn syrup, or HFCS) could be …

Imidacloprid is a neonicotinoid pesticide heavily used by the agricultural industry and shown
to have negative impacts on honey bees above certain concentrations. We evaluated the …

Continuous weight and temperature data were collected for honey bee hives in two locations
in Arizona, and those data were evaluated with respect to separate measurements of hive …

Patterns in within-day hive weight data from two independent datasets in Arizona and
California were modeled using piecewise regression, and analyzed with respect to honey bee …

Placing honey bee colonies in cold storage has been proposed as a way to induce a pause
in brood production as part of a Varroa mite treatment plan. Here, we exposed colonies to …

Methoxyfenozide is an insect growth regulator (IGR) commonly used in agriculture to
simultaneously control pests and preserve beneficial insect populations; however, its impact on …

How neonicotinoid contamination affects honey bees remains controversial. Studies have
yielded contradictory results, and few have examined effects on colony development. Here we …

CO 2 , a byproduct of respiration, is toxic at high concentrations so regulation of CO 2 within
the honey bee hive is an important colony function. In this study, we measured hive CO 2 …
