To all Bee people around the world . . . . if you have read this already sorry! I am a third year biology student at Royal Holloway University of > London. Last summer I was working at the International Institute for > Tropical Ariculture (IITA), Biological Control Centre for Africa, Cotonou, > Benin, West Africa. > > My project at IITA was to test the entomopathogen METARHIZIUM FLAVOVIRIDE for > detrimental effects on APIS MELLIFERA ADANSONII. It is hoped that the fungus > will soon be used as a biocontrol agent against locusts and grasshoppers. > > Information on the West African honey bee I worked with appears to be scarce, as seems to be information on bees suseptability to entomopathogens. Any > information you can forward me through E-mail/post would be much appreciated. > Once my project has been written up I would be glad to forward you a copy. > > Thank you in advance > > \|/ @ @ Patrick Byrne ----------oOO-(_)-OOo--------------------------------------------- | Email: snail | | [log in to unmask] | mail :61, Bond Street | | | Englefield Green | | | Surrey.
