摘要
The bacterium Bacillus sphaericus and the fungus Entomophaga maimaiga did not affect Apis mellifera longevity and did not cause disease among treated bees. Both of these microorganisms are considered safe for honey bees. A technical powder and a formulated product of the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis var. tenebrionis reduced bee longevity at the higher concentration tested (108 spores/ml sucrose syrup), but did not cause disease. The fungus Beauveria bassiana reduced bee longevity at the 2 highest concentrations tested and caused mycosis among treated bees at all 3 concentrations tested (106-108 spores per bee). -from Author
