Evaluation of Australian commercial honey bees for hygienic behaviour, a critical character for tolerance to chalkbrood.

1996-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Chalkbrood of honey bees (Apis mellifera) is caused by Ascosphaera apis, and is new to Australia. As yet, no treatment or prophylaxis is available for this disease. The best prospects for control are likely to come from the use of 'hygienic' bees, those with a strong genetic tendency to uncap and remove dead pupae, together with good beekeeping practice. Ten strains of Australian commercial honey bee were evaluate...
