한국에서 말벌은 양봉 산업에 큰 영향을 미치는 종이다. 특히 비교적 최근에 전국적으로 번식하는 말벌 종인 등검은말벌 (Vespa velutina nigrithorax)은 작은 체구에도 불구하고 높은 사냥 능력으로 꿀벌을 공격하여 양봉 업계에 큰 피해를 주고 있다. 그러나 이 새로운 침입 종에 대한 연구는 아직 시작단계에 있으며, 본 연구에서는 등검은말벌의 장내 박테리아 군집을 조사하고 이 결과를 꿀벌의 장내 박테리아 군집과 비교하여 등검은말벌의 방제를 위한 자료로 이용하고자 했다. 아시아 말벌과 꿀벌 장의 박테리아 게놈 DNA를 수집하여 16S rDNA를 증폭시켜 가변 부위인 V3, V4 염기서열을 판독 하였다. 계통별 분석결과 목 (order) 수준에서 Flavobacteriales는 등검은말벌에서 가장 우점인 박테리아였고, Aeromonadales와 Pseudomonadales가 그 뒤를 이었다. Flavobacteriaes는 꿀벌의 박테리아 군집과 비교했을 때 등검은말벌에서 증가하였으며, Aeromonadales와 Pseudomonadales는 우점종이지만 꿀벌에 비해 낮은 점유율을 보이는 등 두 개체 간의 차이를 확인할 수 있었다. 한편 이번 연구를 통해 이전에 동정되지 않은 등검은말벌 장 박테리아의 16S rDNA 염기 서열을 분석하였고, 이들 박테리아는 Thalassomonas, Caedobacter, Vampirovibrio, Alkaliphilus 및 Calothrix 속으로 분류되었다.

The objectives of this study were to develop models to predict quality parameters of Korean bee-honeys by visible and NIR spectroscopic technique. Two kinds of bee-honey fronl acacia and polyflower sources were tested in this study. The honeys were harvested in the spring of 2000 and stored in the storage facility at 20$^{\circ}C$ during experiments. Total of 394 samples of honey were analyzed. Reflectance spectra, moisture contents, ash, invert sugar, sucrose, F/G (fructose/glucose) ratio, HMF (hydroxymethyl furfural), and C12/C13 ratio of honeys were measured. The average values for the tested honeys were 19.9% of moisture contents, 0.12% of ash, 68.4% of invert sugar, 5.7% of sucrose, 1.27 of F/G(fructose/glucose) ratio, 14.4 mg/kg of HMF, and -19.1 of C12/C13 ratio. A spectrophotometer, equipped with a single-beam scanning monochromator (NIR Systems, Model 6500, USA) and a horizontal setup module, was used to collect reflectance data from honey. The reflectance spectra were measured in wavelength ranges of 400∼2,498 nm. with 2 nm of interval. Thirty-two repetitive scans were averaged, transformed to log(1/Reflectance), and then were stored in a microcomputer file, forming one spectrum per measurement. A sample cell and reflectance plate were made to hold honey samples constantly. Spectra of honey samples were divided into a calibration set and a validation set. The calibration set was used during model development, and the validation set was used to predict quality parameters from unknown spectra. The PLS(Partial Least Square) models were developed to predict the quality parameters of honeys. The first and the second derivatives of raw spectra were also used to develop the models with proper smoothing gap. The MSC (multiplicative scatter correction) and the SNV & Dtr.(standard normal variate and detranding) preprocessing were applied to all spectra to minimize sample-to-sample light scatter differences. The PLS models showed good relationships between predicted and measured quality parameters of honeys in the wavelength range of 1100∼2200 nm. However, the PLS analysis was not good enough to predict HMF of honeys.

Studies on pathogenicities and developmental stages of Nosema apis (Zander, 1909) were carried out through artificial infection to Nosema free honey bees with various levels of spores isolated from local honey bee colony. The results obtained were summarized as follows: 1. The clinical symptoms were observed as dysentery, enteritis of mid-gut (enlargement and decoloration), crawling posture and shortening of the longevity of worker bees in the rearing honey bee colony inoculated with the spores. 2. Number of spores harvested from laboratory rearing honey bees were progresively increased to 4 weeks after inoculation. The regression equations and coefficients of correlations to various spore levels were as follows in each treatment colony. Colony 1. ($$1,000{\times}10^4spores/ml$$) $$y_{c1}=471{\times}10^{4}x+454{\times}10^4(r=0.65^*$$) Colony 2. ($$500{\times}10^4spores/ml$$) $$y_{c2}=340{\times}10^{4}x+207.8{\times}10^4(r=0.99^{**}$$) Colony 3. ($$100{\times}10^4spores/ml$$) $$y_{c3}=150{\times}10^{4}x+84.2{\times}10^4(r=0.99^{**}$$) Colony 4. ($$10{\times}10^4spores/ml$$) $$y_{c4}=13.8{\times}10^{4}x+13{\times}10^4(r=0.98^{**}$$) 3. Average longevity of worker bees artificially infected with Nosema apis was shortened as 21.7~43.8% compare to the control. (p<.05, p<.01) 4. The spores which were isolated from honey bee colony infected with Nosema disease were ovoid or spherical form, and measured, as a rule, from $4.7{\mu}m$ to $6.1{\mu}m$ (mean $5.3{\mu}m$) in length and from $2.4{\mu}m$ to $3.2{\mu}m$ (mean $2.9{\mu}m$) in width. 5. In the mid-gut of honey bees, the spore was progresively germinated and became trophozoite stage. The trophozoites were grown to meronts and their binary fission were begun. The divided two sporoblasts were developed to the spores which had elastic membrane. The new spores were shed in excreta of honey bees 10~15 day after inoculation at $25{\pm}2$ centigrade. 6. The ultrastructure of spore membrane consisted of three layers, such as, outer, middle and inner layer. The sporoplasm consisting lamellar structure occupied only anterior part of the spore and was often extended to posterior direction where definite vacuoles and a polar filament was able to detect.

The experiments were conducted to isolate the etiogical agent and to survey the distribution of Nosema disease in honey bees. The results obtained were as follows: 1. The etiological agent of the so-called "crawling disease" in honey bees characterized by the symptoms of crawling, diarrhea, and enteritis etc. was first isolated and identified with Nosema apis (Zander 1909) in Korea. 2. 455 colonies were randomely sampled and surveyed in 4,766 bee colonies out of 56 apiaries and 51 colonies (11.2%) out of 455 bee colonies were infected with N, apis. 3. Infection rates according to the period of honeyflow as follows: Brassica napus (Apr.): 25/130 colonies (18.4%) Rohinia pseudoacacia (May) : 8/55 colonies (14.%) Trifolium repels(Jun.): 15/99 colonies (13.6%) Castanea crenate (Jul.): 3/46 colonies (6.5%) Lespedeza bicolor(Aug.): 0/60 colonies (-) Fagopyrumesculentum(Sept.) & Perilla frutescens(Oct.) 0/65 colonies (-) 4. The typical clinical signs of Nosema disease were appeared on loth day after N. apis was orally administered with the level of $16{\times}10^4$ spores/ml to the healthy adult bees. Spores could be harvested with the level of $121{\sim}236{\times}10^4$ spores/ml on 10th day and $392{\sim}429{\times}10^4$ spores/ml on 15 days after infection. 5. In adult honey bees infected with N. apis artificially the 50% lethal day of life-span was 9 to 10 days and 100% lethal day was 16 to 19 days. However, in the control 50% lethal day was 19 to 23 days and 100% lethal day was 31 to 33 days.

Minerals, hydroxymethyfufural (HMF) and vitamins in native bee-honey (NBH) harvested from four different areas of Kangwon, korea were analyzed . Ash content of NBH varied from 0.26 to 0.50 % with the mean and standard deviation values of 0.32$\pm$ 0.17% and those of FBH varied from 0.15 to 0.58%(0.32$\pm$0.37) . Among analyzed minerals, the concentration of K,Ca, Mg, Fe and P except Na in NBH were found to be higher than those in FBH. The amounts of K and NA in NBH were 1200-3200ppm(2000 $\pm$770ppm) and 35-50ppm(38$\pm$6ppm), and those in FBH were 1100-3300ppm(1900$\pm$ 1700ppm) and 32-72ppm(49$\pm$17ppm), respectively. The mean value of Na to K ratio expressed as Na/Kx10$^3$ was 20$\pm$4 for the NBH and 41$\pm$25 for the FBH. HMF levels in NBH were 0.50$\pm$0.22mg% which was twice as much as those in FBH. Ascorbic acid and riboflavin in NBH were present at the range of 2.2-4.0mg% and 0.17-0.24mg% , respectively, of which were not significantly different from those obtained from the FBH.

Honey bees (Apis mellifera) forage in agricultural areas, and are exposed to diverse pesticide poisoning. Toxic effects on Apis mellifera of different groups of pesticides were tested in the laboratory; fungicide (Metconazole), herbicide (Glyphosate), acaricide (Amitraz), organophosphate insecticide(Fenitrothion) and neonicotinoid insecticides(Thiacloprid, Thiamethoxam, Imidacloprid, Acetamiprid, Dinotefuran and Clothianidin). Commercial formulations were serially diluted from the recommended concentration (RC) to 10-6 times to carry out feeding and contact tests. Toxicity was transformed into lethal dose (LD50) and hazard question (HQ). The acute toxicity of pesticides showed similar patterns between feeding and contact tests. But feeding tests showed greater toxic to honey bee than contact test. The organophosphate and nitro-neonicotinoid insecticides were highly toxic with HQ values ranging greater than 1. However, cyano-neonicotinoids of Thiacloprid and Acetamiprid showed low toxicity. Even at the RC, 24 hr mortalities were 18 and 30%. The acaricide (Amitraz) showed intermediate level of toxicity at RC but negligible at the concentration lower than 10-1 times. A fungicide(Metconazole) and herbicide(Glyphosate) showed minimal impacts. The results imply that the selective use of pesticides could help conservation of pollinators in agricultural production systems.

Acarapis mites, including Acarapis woodi, Acarapis externus, and Acarapis dorsalis, are parasites of bees which can cause severe damage to the bee industry by destroying colonies and decreasing honey production. All 3 species are prevalent throughout many countries including UK, USA, Iran, Turkey, China, and Japan. Based on previous reports of Acarapis mites occurring in northeast Asia, including China and Japan, we investigated a survey of Acarapis mite infestations in honey bees in Korean apiaries. A total of 99 colonies of Apis mellifera were sampled from 5 provinces. The head and thorax of 20 bees from each colony were removed for DNA extraction. PCR assays were performed with 3 primer sets, including T, A, and K primers. Results indicated that 42.4% (42/99) of samples were Acarapis-positive by PCR assay which were sequenced to identify species. Each sequence showed 92.6-99.3% homology with reference sequences. Based on the homology, the number of colonies infected with A. dorsalis was 32 which showed the highest infection rate among the 3 species, while the number of colonies infected with A. externus and A. woodi was 9 and 1, respectively. However, none of the Acarapis mites were morphologically detected. This result could be explained that all apiaries in the survey used acaricides against bee mites such as Varroa destructor and Tropilaelaps clareae which also affect against Acarapis mites. Based on this study, it is highly probable that Acarapis mites as well as Varroa and Tropilaelaps could be prevalent in Korean apiaries.

This paper presents a newly developed optimization algorithm, the Bee Optimization Algorithm (BeeOA), to solve the economic power dispatch (EPD) problem. The authors have developed a derivative free and global optimization technique based on the working of the honey bee. The economic power dispatch problem is a nonlinear constrained optimization problem. Classical optimization techniques fail to provide a global solution and evolutionary algorithms provide only a good enough solution. The proposed approach has been examined and tested on two test systems with different objectives. A simple power dispatch problem is tested first on 6 generators and then the algorithm is demonstrated on 13 thermal unit systems whose incremental fuel cost function takes into account the value point loading effect. The results are promising and show the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed approach over recently reported methods.
