词条 Mite biting bees
释义

  1. References

Mite biting bees is a natural defensive behavior of honeybees to fight off the ectoparasitic mites Varroa destructor [1][2][3][4]. This behavior has been studied for several decades for honeybee breeding and improve honeybee stocks on mite resistance[5][6]. A group effort at Purdue University started an artificial selection of mite biting behavior of European Honeybees with Heartland Honey Bee Breeding Coop (HHBBC) [7]

Counting damaged mites is a method to measure the trait of mite biting behavior in honeybee colonies. Procedures for mite counts included 1) collecting mites, 2) placing mites on microscope slides, 3) counting number of mites, 4) observing mites for any damage under a microscope, and 5) summarizing the data for each colony.
