A team of Swedish researchers at the University of Lund have developed a treatment they say will help prevent bee colony collapse.
|
|
Scientists have modeled an outbreak of the bee infection American foulbrood , using a technique which could be applied to other honeybee diseases.Tthe method also allows scientists to simulate disease control strategies in order to measure their efficacy.
