Industrial bees: when agricultural intensification doesn’t impact local disease prevalence
2018-09-28
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> Although it is generally thought that the intensification of farming will result in higher disease prevalences there is little specific modelling testing this idea. We build multi-colony models to inform how ‘apicultural intensification’ is predicted to impact honeybee pathogen epidemiology at the apiary scale. Counter to the prevailing view, our models predict that intensification, captured thou...
