• A survey of managed honey bee colony losses in the USA, fall 2009 to winter 2010 (2011, background): “Among the most mentioned factors have been queen failure, starvation and the parasitic mite Varroa destructor (vanEngelsdorp et al., 2007, 2008, 2010).”
• Honey bee colony losses (2010, background): “Indeed, honey bee colonies can die in many ways, and CCD is just one of them (vanEngelsdorp et al., 2010).”
• Surveys as a tool to record winter losses of honey bee colonies: a two year case study in Austria and South Tyrol (2010, background): “In light of U.S. beekeeping, where long distance transport is thought to stress bees and possibly cause mortality (Oldroyd, 2007; but see vanEngelsdorp et al., 2010), this factor seems to have little or no relevance in Austria.”
• A national survey of managed honey bee 2014–2015 annual colony losses in the USA (2015, unknown): “Self-reported acceptable loss rates over the past 9 years have varied from a low of 13.2% to a high of 19% last year (Lee et al., 2015; Spleen et al., 2013; Steinhauer et al., 2014; vanEngelsdorp et al., 2012; vanEngelsdorp et al., 2008; vanEngelsdorp et al., 2010, 2011, 2007).”
• Biotic and Abiotic Factors Associated with Colonies Mortalities of Managed Honey Bee (Apis mellifera) (2019, background): “While in Europe, biotic factors, mainly infections and parasites of the hives, are given great importance; most of the loss of bee colonies in the United States is attributed to adverse weather factors, starvation, loss of the bee queen or stress from transporting hives over long distances, and infe”
• A national survey of managed honey bee 2013–2014 annual colony losses in the USA (2015, unknown): “The selected causes of death in order were poor wintering conditions (n=2237), starvation (n=1774), weak in the fall (n =1610), queen failure (956), do not know (921), Varroa destructor (n =836), other (n =455), pesticides (n =325), CCD (n =324), Nosema spp. (n =261), small hive beetle (n=250), and ”
• A survey of managed honey bee colony losses in the Republic of South Africa–2009 to 2011 (2014, methodology): “However, in contrast to findings in the USA and Europe (vanEngelsdorp et al., 2008; van der Zee, 2010; vanEngelsdorp et al., 2010; vanEngelsdorp and Meixner, 2010; vanEngelsdorp et al., 2011; Dainat et al., 2012; van der Zee et al., 2012) the migratory beekeepers suffered significantly more losses…”
• Honey bee colonies provided with natural forage have lower pathogen loads and higher overwinter survival than those fed protein supplements (2015, background): “Queen failure is a leading cause of overwinter colony loss (Brodschneider and Crailsheim 2010; vanEngelsdorp et al. 2010, 2013).”

• Virus infections and winter losses of honey bee colonies (Apis mellifera) (2010, background): “Indeed, honey bee colonies can die in many different ways (vanEngelsdorp et al., 2010) and very often die with dead bees in the hives (Charrière et al., 2004).”
