“…These may include temperature and humidity, soil use, pesticide burden, and the availability of resources [40]. Nevertheless, the infestation levels observed in this study were within a nonlethal range for the colonies [48]. However, low Varroa infestation may lead to the appearance of diseases following subsequent declines in the yield of honey [49].…”

“…Similar results were found in Mexico, with a mean production of 27.5 kg in the fall and 21.6 kg in the spring for colonies with high HB, and a mean yield of 21.42 and 13.45 kg, respectively, for those with low HB, at altitudes below 1400 m.a.s.l. [48]. Honey production depends on the interaction of factors such as the size of the population, the continuous work of honey bees, and the environment [50].…”

“…Está demostrado que el grado de africanización de las poblaciones de abejas en México muestra un gradiente contínuo asociado a la asnm. A menores altitudes, el grado de africanización de las colonias es mayor que en zonas de montaña (Medina-Flores et al, 2015;Domíngues-Ayala et al, 2016;Guzmán-Novoa et al, 2020) y las colonias más africanizadas en México manifiestan menores niveles de infestación por V. destructor y enfermedades virales y de la cría, en parte debido al comportamiento higiénico de las abejas (Guzman-Novoa et al, 2012Medina-Flores et al, 2014a, b, c;Hamiduzzaman et al, 2015), aunque en ocasiones, a pesar de su alto comportamiento higiénico, una combinación de parasitosis como la varroosis y la ascosferosis pueden hacer colapsar colonias de abejas africanizadas (Medina y Vicario-Mejía, 1999). Una evidencia adicional que apoya la presunción de mayor grado de africanización de las colonias en la región del llano, son los resultados del estudio de Esquivel et al (2015), quienes mostraron que las abejas de colonias de la región del llano eran más africanizadas y defensivas que las abejas de colonias de la región de montaña.…”

“…Previous studies in Mexico, one of the countries with the highest concentration of managed honey bee colonies worldwide (Quezada-Euán, 2007), performed at a regional scale have documented the Africanization process principally in managed colonies from Southern Mexico (Clarke et al, 2002;Kraus et al, 2007;Quezada-Euan & Jesus May-Itza, 2001;Quezada-Euán & Medina, 1998;Quezada-Euáun, 2000) and to a lesser extent in the north of the country (Medina-Flores et al, 2015;Silva-Contreras et al, 2019;Zamora et al, 2008). Domínguez-Ayala et al (2016) analyzed the racial admixture (based on morphometrics and PCR-RFLP of COI-COII region) of managed honey bee colonies from several states in Mexico, showing that colonies descended in similar proportions from African and European lineages and that the degree of Africanization is likely climate-driven.…”
