A number of cell biology techniques were employed to assess cellular changes induced in bees after inoculation of bacterium Paenibacillus larvae and separately with different pesticides and acaricides. The immunohistochemical localisation of the heat shock proteins (Hsp70 and Hsp90) and histone proteins in healthy and pesticide treated bees has been studied to evaluate sublethal effects on bees.
B.03 Paper at an international scientific conference
COBISS.SI-ID: 3034472The queens of the indigenous Carniolan bee, Apis mellifera carnica, are selected and reared in isolated and strictly controlled queen-rearing apiaries. Virgin queens were moved to different geographical locations to test mating success was evaluated and the presence of capped brood in the nuclei and the morphological characteristics, number of Nosema spores, bee viruses: BQCV, SBV, DWV and ABPV viruses using PCR method. Experiments were imprtant for establishment the quality of mated queens.
