Bees are very important for terrestrial ecosystems and, above all, the subsistence of many crops, due to their ability pollinate flowers. Currently, honey bee populations decreasing colony collapse disorder (CCD). The reasons CCD not fully known, and as a result, it is essential obtain all possible information on environmental conditions surrounding beehives. On other hand, carry out such gathering non-intrusively avoid modifying bees' work more reliable data. We designed wireless-sensor...
El ácaro Varroa destructor es el principal problema de sanidad animal al que se enfrenta nuestra apicultura. La cuantificación la población este un factor gran importancia para inspección veterinaria y los apicultores, además determina necesidad realizar o no tratamientos. En trabajo evalúan diferentes métodos diagnóstico: i) ácaros desprendidos con azúcar en polvo etanol del cuerpo abejas adultas barridas cuadros alimento cría, ii) obtenidos celdillas cría obreras iii) caídos a fondos las...
In this study, the Wbee Sensor System was used to record data from 10 Iberian beehives for two years in southern Spain. These were identify potential conditioning climatic factors of internal regulatory behavior hive and its weight. Categorical principal components analysis (CATPCA) determine minimum number those able capture maximum percentage variability recorded. Then, categorical regression (CATREG) select that linearly related humidity, temperature weight issue predictive equations...
