Individual feeding of honey bees: Modification of the Rinderer technique

Currently, inoculation with substances or infective microorganisms of individual honey bees involves many technical problems, such as long time periods of handling and a tedious manipulation of the bee to achieve the ingestion of the inoculum. Also, many operators are needed in order to obtain simul...

Description
Summary:Currently, inoculation with substances or infective microorganisms of individual honey bees involves many technical problems, such as long time periods of handling and a tedious manipulation of the bee to achieve the ingestion of the inoculum. Also, many operators are needed in order to obtain simultaneously large numbers of inoculated individuals.
