Comparison of Plastic Apimaye Hive with Wooden Langstroth Hive for Improved Winterizing Efficiency and Mite Control
No full textWe are both students at the University of Minnesota Duluth studying Environment, Sustainability, and Geography. Over the semester, we observed the relationship between honey winterization efficiency and varroa mite control by comparing the plastic "Apimaye" hive with a standard wooden hive. Temperature and humidity data was collected in both hives using "Broodminder" technology. The results of our study suggest that there is a significant difference between the two different hive styles but further monitoring throughout the winter will be necessary before coming to conclusions.The wooden langstroth beehive has been commonly used around the world since the early twenties. Pesticides and the global spread of the varroa mite (V. destructor) continue to stress honey bee (Apis mellifera) colonies making them even more susceptible to frigid winters in northern climates. These challenges are critical to address as humans have become dependent on domesticated bees for honey and pollination, thus challenging researchers to explore alternative hive designs. Conventional wood is not always adequate for insulating bees when temperature conditions are under 50 degrees (F), much like Minnesota winters. For this reason, additional insulation or “cozy wraps” are often necessary for winterizing a wooden beehive. Data was collected through “Broodminder” citizen science technology to examine temperature and humidity differences between two hive designs. The hives being studied included the “Apimaye” plastic hive and the traditional wooden langstroth hive to test which is best at overall winterization efficiency. Findings suggest that there was a significant difference in the temperature and humidity levels, between the wooden and plastic bee hives. Future monitoring must continue in order to fully understand the overall winterization efficiency and mite levels between the two hives.University of Minnesota's Undergraduate Research Opportunities ProgramErickson, Mikayla M; Salwei, Maggie L.

Historia y taxonomía: redescripción de Liolaemus andinus Koslowsky, 1895 y descripción de dos nuevas especies de Liolaemus (Iguania: Liolaemidae)
No full textDebido a la falta de información sobre la procedencia exacta de colecta de los ejemplares dela serie tipo Liolaemus andinus y posterior pérdida, durante mucho tiempo se asignaron a estaespecie varias poblaciones con características morfológicas dispares, lo que trajo como problema la identificación del verdadero L. andinus. Este estudio comenzó en el año 2004 y luegode dieciséis años de investigación de las poblaciones asignadas o relacionadas a L. andinus, sela redescribe, se designa un neotipo, se considera su probable procedencia y se aportan datosde su biología y distribución. Asimismo, se presenta una hipótesis sobre la procedencia y distribución de L andinus basada en argumentos biológicos e históricos. También se determinala posición taxonómica de las poblaciones asignadas y confundidas con L. andinus, varias delas cuales tienen afinidad con Liolaemus poecilochromus y Liolaemus rosenmanni. Los análisismorfológicos y moleculares desarrollados en este estudio, nos permiten describir dos nuevasespecies de Liolaemus, que anteriormente eran identificadas y confundidas con Liolaemusandinus. Estos nuevos taxones habitan en la región fitogeográfica altoandina de Argentina, enaltitudes mayores a 3000 m s.n.m; una se distribuye en el suroeste de la provincia de Catamarcay la restante en el centro oeste de la provincia de La Rioja. Las diferencias morfológicas mássignificativas entre estas nuevas especies y Liolaemus andinus se encuentran principalmente enel patrón de coloración y algunos caracteres de lepidosis relacionados al número de escamas.Fil: Abdala, Cristian Simón.

Draft project for migratory beekeeping platforms
No full textKäesolev lõputöö on kirjutatud rändmesinduse suunal, kuna siiani leidub selle valdkonna
kohta vähe eestikeelset kirjandust. Eestis on rändmesindus arengustaadiumis, kuna turul
leiduvad seadmed on puudulikud ja ei kata nõudlust. Käesoleval ajal tegelevad
rändmesindusega küll mõned hobiharrastajad, aga nende võtted ja meetodid nõuavad neilt
selleks suurt pingutust ja ei vii sageli loodetud tulemuseni.
Käesoleva diplomitöö eesmärgiks on välja töötada rändmesinduse platvormi eskiisprojekt
ning uurida olemasolevaid seadmeid ja erinevaid mesilastarude transportimise viise.
Eskiisprojekti koostamisel on lähtutud turul olevatest seadmetest ning kohandatud neid
kodumaisesse keskkonda. Töö metoodika jaguneb kolmeks osaks: esmalt antakse ülevaade
rändmesinduse olemusest. Seejärel uuritakse rändmesinduses kasutatavaid seadmeid,
inventaari ning mesilaste rassi/tõugu. Lõpuks töötatakse saadud teadmiste põhjal välja
rändmesinduse eskiisprojekt.
Eskiisprojekti koostamisel on arvesse võetud järgmiseid tegureid: platvormi sobivus poes
müüdavate vahtpolüstüroonist langstroth/farrar korpustarudega, platvormi mahutavus 21-le
langstroth/farrar korpustarule, lisaraami olemasolu, mesinikule mugavad töötingimused
ning platvormi sobivus auto kastihaagisele
Tulevikuväljavaatena tuleks rändmesinduse platvormi lõplikuks viimistlemiseks ja seade
valmimiseks eskiisprojekti täiendada muuhulgas tugevusarvutustega ja tagada vastavus
insenerinormidele/-standarditele, eriti kui rakendada lisaks erinevaid platvormi kasutamist
lihtsustavaid elektrilisi ja hüdraulilisi seadmeid.The present thesis is written about migratory beekeeping, since there is only little
published data available in Estonian language about this research field. Migratory
beekeeping still is in an initial phase in Estonia because the required equipment and
necessary devices are lacking behind the demand of a growing market. Up to now
migratory beekeeping is nearly exclusively used by amateurs, but their techniques and
methods take lots of efforts and often bear unefficient results.
The aim of the current thesis is to develop a draft project for migratory beekeeping
platforms and to review the available equipment and different ways of how to transport bee
hives.
By composing this draft project the author claims how to adjust the required equipment to
local environments. The methodology of the thesis is devided into three parts: firstly, an
overview is given of the general nature of migratory beekeeping. Further, the author
reviews equipment, inventory and bee races used for migratory beekeeping. Lastly, a draft
project for migratory beekeeping platforms is developed based on the gained knowledge.
For developing the draft project the following factors were taken into account: platform
suitability to commercially available polystyron langstroth/farrar bee hives, platform
capacity to 21 langstroth/farrar bee hives, availability of additional frame, convenient
working conditions for the beekeeper, and platform suitability to the trailer.
As a future outlook, it is proposed that for the final realization of such a migratory
beekeeping platform, different criteria of strength as well as engineer standards are
required, especially when additional electrical and hydraulical applications are integrated
into the setup of the platform
