1 Honey bee diseases, pests, and disorders David R. Tarpy CES Agent Training Assistant Professor and Extension Apiculturist Department of Entomology, Campus Box 7613 North Carolina State University Raleigh, NC TEL: April 7th, 2006
2 Disease Infective agents of honey bees; grow within (pathogen) or feed upon (parasite) honey bees as hosts
3 Economically important diseases: Brood pathogens 1. American foulbrood (AFB) 2. European foulbrood (EFB) 3. Chalkbrood 4. Sacbrood
4 American foulbrood (AFB) Agent: spore-forming bacterium Paenibacillus larvae larvae Symptoms: brown larvae, foul odor, ropiness, scale Treatments: oxytetracycline, burn
5 The dried remains for a scale on the bottom of the cell, containing billions of AFB spores Pupal tongue --a characteristic symptom of AFB
6 Ropy test Pull cell contents out with a matchstick; if it is elastic, it is probably AFB
7 Treatments
8 Economically important diseases: Brood pathogens 1. American foulbrood (AFB) 2. European foulbrood (EFB) 3. Chalkbrood 4. Sacbrood
9 European foulbrood (EFB) Agent: bacterium Melissococcus pluton and associated flora Symptoms: brown larvae, foul odor, no ropiness, no scale Treatments: oxytetracycline, strong colony

12 Chalkbrood Agent: fungus Ascophaera apis Symptoms: white or black hardened pupal remains Treatments: no chemotherapies, requeen colony?
13 Economically important diseases: Brood pathogens 1. American foulbrood (AFB) 2. European foulbrood (EFB) 3. Chalkbrood 4. Sacbrood
14 Sacbrood Agent: virus Symptoms: brown larvae, canoe-shaped position in cell Treatments: no chemotherapies, strong colony
15 Economically important diseases: Adult parasites 1. Varroa mites 2. Tracheal mites 3. Nosema

20 QuickTime and a TIFF (Uncompressed) decompressor are needed to see this picture. Tracheal mites Agent: endo-parasite Acarapis woodi Symptoms: diminishing worker population, morbidity, colony death with ample food stores Treatments: menthol, grease patty
21 Economically important diseases: Adult parasites 1. Varroa mites 2. Tracheal mites 3. Nosema
22 Nosema disease Agent: protozoan Nosema apis Symptoms: distended abdomens, defecation inside hive Treatments: Fumidil- B, strong colony
23 Pests Animals that attack bee hives for food or other resources
24 Economically important pests 1. Wax moths 2. Small hive beetle (SHB) 3. Mammals 4. Other insects Picture by Zachary Huang
25 Picture by Zachary Huang Wax moths Agent: moth Galaria Symptoms: silk cocoons, large larvae Treatments: PDB crystals, light, freezing combs

31
32 Economically important pests 1. Wax moths 2. Small hive beetle (SHB) 3. Mammals 4. Other insects
33 Disorders Factors that are not due to parasites, pathogens, or pests of honey bee colonies but are still problematic for the beekeeper
34 Non-disease Disorders 1. Chilled brood 2. Poisoning 3. Laying workers 4. Drone layer 5. Shotbrood 6. Supersedure
35 Non-disease Disorders 1. Chilled brood 2. Poisoning 3. Laying workers 4. Drone layer 5. Shotbrood 6. Supersedure
