Colony collapse disorder (CCD) is an abnormal phenomenon that occurs when the majority of worker bees in a honey bee colony disappear, leaving behind a queen, plenty of food, and a few nurse bees to care for the remaining immature bees. [1]
Colony collapse disorder has attracted much public attention. According to a 2013 blog the winter losses of beehives had increased in recent years in Europe and the United States, with a hive failure rate up to 50%.
Colony collapse disorder (CCD) is a poorly understood phenomenon in which worker bees from a beehive or western honey bee colony abruptly disappear. CCD was originally discovered in Florida by David Hackenberg in western honey bee colonies in late 2006. [77]
David Hackenberg is an American commercial beekeeper [1] [2] who started Hackenberg Apiaries which runs beehives in several American states.. Hackenberg witnessed the first case of what was going to be known as Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) in November 2006 and reported it publicly in February 2007.
Dennis vanEngelsdorp is an associate professor [1] of entomology at the University of Maryland, College Park. He is the Chief Scientist for the Bee Informed Partnership and has been involved in a number of studies aimed at understanding colony collapse disorder.
North American and European populations were severely depleted by Varroa mite infestations during the early 1990s, and U.S. beekeepers were further affected by colony collapse disorder in 2006 and 2007. [81] Some subspecies of Apis mellifera show naturally varroa sensitive hygiene, for example Apis mellifera lamarckii [82] and Apis mellifera ...
[58] [59] Colony collapses were called "May Disease" in Colorado in 1891 and 1896. [60] Starting in the first decade of the 21st century, abnormally high die-offs (30–70% of hives) of western honey bee colonies have occurred in North America. This has been dubbed "colony collapse disorder" (CCD) and was at first unexplained. [61]
