Current Research
Dr. Ramesh Sagili has reported Oregon's first documented case of a "zombie" fly infecting a honey bee. As the press release notes, he "stumbled upon a belly-up bee on a sidewalk under a street light" on the Oregon State University campus Corvallis one morning in late July this year. Check out a photo of the fly, which developed from a maggot that crawled out of the dead honey bee. The photo is by Oregon State Arthropod Collection. Corvallis, OR; Specimen #0000445045, some rights reserved.
In Review of Selected Research, Dr. Ramesh Sagili takes a look at some of the recently
published research regarding several issues of concern to beekeepers today. They include
the phorid fly, neonicotinoids, and GMOs. The article is published in the July 2012 issue of The Bee Line, and is provided here with permission.
Current and Past Regional Surveys
Current and past regional Overwintering Surveys and Pollination Surveys may also be of interest. The following represents a "work in progress" as regional surveys that have been conducted over time continue to be compiled. In some instances, the same material was printed in more than one publication. At times, variation exists in the material presented, and all available materials are posted here.
