Behavioral response of the small hive beetle, Aethina tumida (Coleoptera: Nitidulidae) to volatiles of Apicure®, a plant-based extract

About this activity

Biological invasions pose a global threat to both food security and natural ecosystems. Intra-colony destruction has been accredited to the feeding behavior of adult and larval beetles. Previous studies have also reported potential alternative hosts for the SHB such as stingless bee colonies. To date, several studies on non-chemical management strategies for. In this study, we hypothesized that Apicuren
