Incidence, Damage Potentiality and management of Galleria mellonella - Viraktamath Dr Shashidhar
Greater wax moth, Galleria mellonella (L.)
is the most serious enemy of all the Apis species of honey
bees throughout the world causing damage to combs and hive
products both in storage and in live colonies. Injury by the
larvae is so disastrous that the combs may completely be
reduced to a mass of webbing and debris within a short time
forcing the colonies to abscond. Its destructive activities
are more severe in the tropics and subtropics, presumably
because the pest is believed to have evolved in southern
Asia along with honey bees. India is one of the major honey
and wax producing countries in the world. Hence, this
publication provides exhaustive information on the seasonal
incidence of the pest in four Apis species of honey bees,
its damage potentiality in storage, its natural enemies and
biology and efficacy of the most dominant parasitoid,
Apanteles galleriae .Efficacy of commercial formulations of
Bacillus thuringiensis and botanicals have been presented
and an integrated management package has been evaluated.
This publication forms baseline information on the greater
wax moth and an important reference document to students,
researchers and teachers.
