A side-by-side comparison of honey bee management systems
Robyn Underwood, & al.

We quantified honey bee health in colonies managed using organic and
conventional management practices by measuring honey bee population
growth, honey and wax production, overwintering success, varroa
mite population growth, and Nosema apis and Nosema ceranae levels.

Because half of the colonies were kept using conventional management
and the other half using organic management, we conducted a direct
comparison of the impacts of simple management practices as means
to keep colonies healthy and both parasite and pest levels low. The
results indicate that neither system resulted in a robust, healthy honey
bee population.
