Many MSF payloads have an EXITFUNC variable that can be defined. Typically, there are two main functions: ExitProcess and ExitThread.
ExitProcess will shut down the whole process (including parent) when it is terminated. This means that the service also cannot be re-exploited until the process has been restarted. The service will also typically "hang" because it is processing the exploit code and nothing else.
ExitThread will only kill the thread of the process that was created. This means that the service can be re-exploited because the exploit will create a separate child thread. This also has the added benefit of the service (usually) continuing to operate normally for other users.

Abstract: We present a characterization of a useful class of skills based on a graphical representation of an agent’s interaction with its environment. Our characterization uses betweenness, a measure of centrality on graphs. It captures and generalizes (at least intuitively) the bottleneck concept, which has inspired many of the existing skill-discovery algorithms. Our characterization may be used directly to form a set of skills suitable for a given task. More importantly, it serves as a useful guide for developing incremental skill-discovery algorithms that do not rely on knowing or representing the interaction graph in its entirety. 1

For the following steps, you should open the MEI ProfileDrafter in a separate browser window (or tab) to follow along with these instructions.
When you open the ProfileDrafter, you will see a list of all MEI Modules in the center column. For each, the number of elements and attribute classes in that module is given. Individual modules can be turned off by unchecking the checkbox left to their name. Please disallow some MEI modules by unchecking them.
It is fairly simple to (de-)select MEI modules, isn't it? However, by using this checkbox only, you get very little feedback on the consequences of your choices – the user interface isn't really telling you what you're taking out of the schema with these selections. However, each module box also has a customize-button in its top-right corner. When clicking this button, the list of modules in the center column is replaced by a list of all elements and attribute classes that are part of the current module. Please note that this is only possible for modules that you haven't excluded for the schema.
If you click to customize the MEI.cmnOrnaments module, you will see a list with the <mordent>, <trill>, and <turn> elements, and the att.mordent.log, att.ornamentAccid, att.ornamPresent, att.trill.log, and att.turn.log attribute classes. Again, you can unselect any of those, depending on your specific needs. While on the last screen, you've been able to turn off modules in full, here you can make selective choices, narrowing down MEI to your very needs. If, for whatever reason, you need a version of MEI that allows you to encode <trill>s, but does not support <mordent>s and <turn>s, you can easily turn off those two elements, but keep the MEI.cmnOrnaments module as such. Looking at "larger" modules like MEI.cmn, MEI.header, or MEI.edittrans, it is easy to envision more practical use cases for this selective exclusion of elements.
As with elements, it is possible to disallow attribute classes in this module overview. However, this requires a good understanding of the available classes and their nesting. For most users (and use cases), it will be more practical to do this from a slightly different perspective. On each element, there is a set attributes-button. If you click that button, the content of the main column is yet again replaced with different content. This time, you will find a listing of all attributes available on that element. The layout of this listing follows the attribute classes that this element is a member of. Each attribute class has a checkbox that can be used to turn it off. If you unselect an attribute class, it will not only remove the attributes defined within that class, but will also suppress all other attribute classes inherited through the class hierarchy – including all attributes defined by those. For instance, if you uncheck the att.basic attribute class (which is available on every element in MEI through the att.common class), this will not only remove the @xml:base attribute, but also the att.id class, and through this the @xml:id attribute. After doing this on any element of your choice, you should navigate to another element. You will notice there that the same attribute class is already turned off: All those options are properly coordinated. This includes the attribute classes listed at the level of individual modules.
With the options to turn off modules, individual elements, and specific attribute classes, it is already possible to restrict the MEI schema considerably, making it a better fit for the specific needs of any given project, and help that project to avoid inconsistency and other encoding problems. As the MEI ProfileDrafter allows to start from multiple official MEI customizations, it is fairly simple to generate a custom version of MEI that further restricts the MEI CMN profile (or any other cusotmization). In the next step of this tutorial, we will see how to make use of this customization.

I have many passions outside the academic
realm, the most important being my wife and
kids. I spend as much time with them as I can.
The boys like walks in the park, the girl likes
snuggling dad, and my wife likes to spend a
simple night at home with just the two of us
and a cup of hot cocoa. I also play the guitar
I have been playing for about fifteen years--I
pursue a playing style similar to
Andy McKee
and Antoine Dufour.

If a quantity is entered for a disturbance, then the additional fields must be filled out for that row. To remove a disturbance, simply change the quantity to zero.


You can reach this dialog via the menu entry Individual Procedures \ Number Theory - Interactive \ Compute Mersenne Numbers.
This dialog can be used to calculate powers where both base and exponent are integers. This dialog calculates the exact number very fast, even when powers become very big. The shown result is the power minus 1 (as usual for calculating Mersenne numbers).
Status July 2010: For example, the currently biggest known prime is a Mersenne number (base = 2;
exponent = 43,112,609), which was found in the GIMPS project (Great Internet
Mersenne Prime Search).
If base and exponent are known CrypTool calculates
this result being more than 12 milllion decimal digits long in less than 20 seconds on a normal PC.
Information about Mersenne primes can be obtained here.


My name is Raúl González Cruz . I have started my adventure since 2014 in coding with languages like Java and C++. Then started solving some problems in Hackerrank and got interested in mobile development, working for the first time with Android. So far I am trying to compete on data structures and artificial intelligence algorithms.
I have taken part in HacktoberFest since 2018. So proud to collaborate and get a wonderful T-Shirt meanwhile I learn new development tricks. Happy HacktoberFest from

In 1989, Bruce "Tog" Tognazzini described results of Apple Computer's research into mouse efficiency:
We discovered, among other things, two pertinent facts:
- The stopwatch consistently proves mousing is faster than keyboarding.
- Test subjects consistently report that keyboarding is faster than mousing.
Keyboard zealots rebelled so strongly against this conclusion that Tog felt compelled to publish two follow-up articles, in which he described a specific test:
Using Microsoft Word on a Macintosh, I typed in a paragraph of text, then replaced every instance of an "e" with a vertical bar (|). The test subject's task was to replace every | with an "e." Just to make it even harder, the test subjects, when using the mouse, were forbidden to just drop the cursor to the right of the | and then use the delete key to get rid of it. Instead, they had to actually drag the mouse pointer across the one-pixel width of the character to select it, then press the "e" key to replace it
This page lets you test yourself.

Hmm, maybe a liguana, I think komodo's are even bigger?
 You’re simple, naive, xenophobic vitriol is one of the blockers to mass adoption. So long as aul Breitbart Bae’s perspective is associated with the tech in any way, and so long as devs and the community don’t visibly condemn his racist shtick, many people will view this space as an off shoot of 4 Chan, populated by trolls and angry, uneducated, small, twats.

Aubameyang sends supportive message to Xhaka in Arsenal programme
by Jaikuran RandhawaAccording to Mirror Football, Arsenal captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang wrote a supportive message to disgraced skipper Granit Xhaka in his captain’s programme notes before today’s clash with Southampton.
Aubameyang was named as Arsenal’s skipper after Xhaka was stripped of the captaincy for his outburst where he appeared to tell some fans to “f*** off” during the Gunners’ draw vs Crystal Palace last month.
The Swiss star hasn’t featured for the Gunners since the incident but Aubameyang has insisted that “we are all here for him” at this disaster moment in the midfielder’s Arsenal career.
It will be interesting to see the reaction from fans if and when Xhaka plays for the Gunners again, do you think it would be a bad idea for him to put on the Arsenal shirt again?
Here’s what Aubameyang had to say on his teammate:
“I took over from Granit in tough circumstances but I am very proud to be wearing the armband, it is an honour. It comes with a lot of responsibilities but I feel I can do a great job.”
“I would like to also say a word for Granit.”
“I understand that sometimes one can make mistakes. It happens to all of us. Granit is one of us. We are all here for him and I know how strong he is.”
“It was tough to see all of this happening but we need to move forward together.”
“This is my message for you Arsenal fans. We need you. You are amazing, your support is amazing and we need to all pull in the same direction.
“I really hope you will be massively behind us today and for the rest of the season.”
Aubameyang appears to be calling for unity between the players and the fans. The Gunners need to get their fanbase back on board if they’re to get their season back on track.
The Gunners scraped a last-minute draw against relegation candidates Southampton this afternoon and they’ll need to show a much better account of themselves if they’re to mount a serious challenge for a top four spot.

The chart shows the total files changed from release tag against the rebase point of given release specified in CHANGELOG (CHANGELOG.md and gitlab-ci.yml excluded from statistics). Check the statistics with:
git diff --stat 9f56eed ':(exclude).gitlab-ci.yml' ':(exclude)CHANGELOG.md'
97 files changed, 3219 insertions(+), 413 deletions(-)
The chart represents the total line added and deleted on the PC Engines coreboot fork against the rebase point for a given release. Check the statistics with:
git diff --stat 9f56eed ':(exclude).gitlab-ci.yml' ':(exclude)CHANGELOG.md'
97 files changed, 3219 insertions(+), 413 deletions(-)
Two files have not been included in the diff as mentioned above since they are not a part of coreboot tree.
Testing
-
PC Engines hardware configuration matrix - hardware configurations available for testing in 3mdeb laboratory.
-
PC Engines release validation results - please note there are separate sheets for each board-release.
There are no test changes in this release.
- Mainline:
- PASSED: 427 (-1)
- FAILED: 10 (+1)
- PASSED [%]: 97.71% (-0.23%)
This release does not have tests changes, therefore there is slight difference
in the aggregated statistics. Slightly worse overall PASSED
tests percentage
results from the on-going random USB detection problem and TinyCore boot
stability, whether it will affect the current iteration or not.
Binaries
Mainline
See how to verify the signatures on asciinema
What we planned
-
Improve the support of TPM2 in coreboot and SeaBIOS. Currently there is only the TCPA (TPM1.2) log support in coreboot. Additionally SeaBIOS overwrites existing entries in TPM2 log area.
cbmem
utility also lacks support for displaying TPM2 log area.WORK IN PROGRESS
-
Validate ESXi 6.7. We have got information that booting ESXi 6.7 U2 fails on apu2 and are investigating the issue.
WORK IN PROGRESS
-
Reorganize runtime configuration by making it persistent across updates and accessible from user space. Also prepare a tool for offline binary modification.
WORK IN PROGRESS
-
Vital Product Data (VPD) support. User will have possibility to store and change VPD configuration in Read-Write section of SPI flash. Moreover, default VPD keys and values will be stored in Read-Only region to protect data against corruption. Also, sortbootorder runtime configuration will be stored in VPD Read-Write section, so access to it will be possible in OS via dedicated util.
WORK IN PROGRESS
Coming soon

What do you get when you blend grand opera, theater of the absurd and gladiators? The World Wrestling Federation, of course.
In the only sport with script writers, composers, costume designers and directors, professional wrestling is unabashedly just pure show business. It's a spectacle that P.T. Barnum would have loved to own. After the WWF's recent IPO, you can even buy a piece of it yourself.
Barry W. Blaustein's documentary, BEYOND THE MAT, takes a loving but honest look behind the curtain to show us how this bizarre piece of entertainment is operated. The "sport" is so popular that the documentary about it is getting released to commercial theaters rather than art houses, something relatively unheard of in the world of docs.
Make no mistake, however, about wrestling. It is a dangerous endeavor. The blood you see is real, as the combatants do such things as take metal chairs and pulverize their opponents' heads. These willing victims get their bodies beat to a pulp up to 10 times a week. The pain is no less intense because it is carefully scripted. From the times of the Romans, we know that there has always been a market for watching people being subjected to such incredible abuse.
Blaustein's documentary is hilarious -- frequently frighteningly funny. The performers go for maximum camp and their interviews off-stage are completely off the wall.
Most of the stars or would-be stars of the WWF have some schtick in order to stand out. Jake the Snake, as you might guess, has his monstrous snakes that he brings along.
One newcomer has a skill that impresses the CEO of the WWF, which is still a family business even though it's publicly traded. The wrestler, who is given the new stage name of Puke, is able to regurgitate on cue.
"But, what if you weren't born with the skill of projectile wrestling?" Blaustein asks rhetorically. The answer?
The film, which is mesmerizing in the first thirty minutes, quickly runs out of ideas. As fascinating as the first part is, the rest of the movie is way too repetitive.
Some segments have no resonance. Typical of these is the one about Jake the Snake, a crack addict, trying to relate to his abandoned, now grownup daughter. We can be sorry for her, but the inclusion of the material just feels awkward.
Still, the first part of the film is more than worth the price of admission. Actually watching 30 minutes of it and then walking out wouldn't be a bad strategy. You would have great fun, and staying will not add much.
BEYOND THE MAT runs too long at 1:42. It is rated R for strong violence and language and would be acceptable for older teenagers. (Young kids, including those of the contestants who are beaten up, can and do go to the matches, something that I find shocking. Of course, shocking is what pays the bills at the WWF.)

Indian 'court' orders rape victim to sell baby - Premium Times Nigeria
by Agency ReportA 16-year-old girl, who gave birth to a child, after allegedly being raped by two men was ordered by Panchayat (a formalised local self-governance system) to sell the baby and keep the money as compensation.
Panchayat is a self-governance system with powers of adjudication and comprising elected elders of the village.
According to a Bihar police official linked to the case, the victim who hails from a village in Muzaffarpur approached them a few days ago.
The police said the girl alleged that a Muslim cleric that resided in the village mosque raped her in an unconscious state and recorded the act.
“After the incident, the cleric kept raping her over two months and threatened her with consequences if she revealed the incidents to anyone.
“During this time she became pregnant, which she revealed to a young man from the village.
“He then raped her on the pretext of marriage but didn’t marry her,” the officer said.
In her complaint, she also said that she had visited her maternal uncle’s house, and when the family learned about her pregnancy, she told them about her ordeal.
The family members approached the Panchayat seeking justice but were unsuccessful.
The police said that in October, she gave birth to a child, but the Panchayat labelled the incident a misfortune and ordered the victim to sell the child and keep the money as compensation.
The family finally approached a local police station and registered a case.
The police confirmed that several teams have been formed to arrest the absconding accused.
“We are checking on the claims made by the victim and the verdict of the panchayat.
“A DNA test is also being conducted to identify the biological father of the newborn.’’

CPU Merge implementation
template<typename T, typename Comp> void CPUMerge(const T* a, int aCount, const T* b, int bCount, T* dest, Comp comp) { int count = aCount + bCount; int ai = 0, bi = 0; for(int i = 0; i < count; ++i) { bool p; if(bi >= bCount) p = true; else if(ai >= aCount) p = false; else p = !comp(b[bi], a[ai]); dest[i] = p ? a[ai++] : b[bi++]; } }
Merge is the simplest function that is constructed in the two-phase style promoted by this project. Developing algorithms in the two-phase style begins with writing down a serial implementation. CPUMerge
is a good point of reference because it consumes one input and emits one output per iteration. Our goal is to:
Divide the domain into partitions of exactly the same size. We use the Merge Path ideas covered on the previous page to assist with partitioning and scheduling. A coarse-grained search over the inputs in global memory breaks the problem into tiles with workloads of constant size. A fine-grained search over the inputs in shared memory breaks the problem into threads with workloads of constant size.
Develop a serial merge, like CPUMerge
above, that is executed in parallel and in isolation by each thread to process distinct intervals of the problem. Rather than running over the entire input, as in CPUMerge
, each thread performs exactly VT iterations, consuming VT input and emitting VT output. This strategy has the same linear work efficiency as a standard sequential merge (parallel algorithms often choose to sacrifice work efficiency to gain concurrency).
By decoupling scheduling and work, the two-phase strategy assists the programmer in developing readable and composable algorithms. We'll show in a future page how to replace the serial portion of the parallel merge to execute high-throughput vectorized sorted searches.
template<int NT, int VT, typename It1, typename It2, typename T, typename Comp> MGPU_DEVICE void DeviceMergeKeysIndices(It1 a_global, It2 b_global, int4 range, int tid, T* keys_shared, T* results, int* indices, Comp comp) { int a0 = range.x; int a1 = range.y; int b0 = range.z; int b1 = range.w; int aCount = a1 - a0; int bCount = b1 - b0; // Load the data into shared memory. DeviceLoad2ToShared<NT, VT, VT>(a_global + a0, aCount, b_global + b0, bCount, tid, keys_shared); // Run a merge path to find the start of the serial merge for each thread. int diag = VT * tid; int mp = MergePath<MgpuBoundsLower>(keys_shared, aCount, keys_shared + aCount, bCount, diag, comp); // Compute the ranges of the sources in shared memory. int a0tid = mp; int a1tid = aCount; int b0tid = aCount + diag - mp; int b1tid = aCount + bCount; // Serial merge into register. SerialMerge<VT, true>(keys_shared, a0tid, a1tid, b0tid, b1tid, results, indices, comp); }
MGPU Merge merges two sorted inputs with C++ std::merge ordering semantics. As in Bulk Insert, the source inputs are partitioned into equal size-interval pairs by calling MergePathPartitions
. We double-down on this divide-and-conquer strategy by calling MergePath
a second time, locally searching over the keys in a tile.
DeviceMergeKeysIndices
is a re-usable CTA-level function that merges keys provided in shared memory. The caller secifies the tile's intervals over A and B in the range
argument. range
is derived by ComputeMergeRange
using the intersections of the tile's cross-diagonals with the Merge Path, as illustrated here. DeviceLoad2ToShared
performs an optimized, unrolled, cooperative load of a variable number of contiguous elements from two input arrays. Loaded keys are stored in shared memory: A's contributions in (0, aCount) and B's contributions in (aCount, aCount + bCount).
MergePath
is called by all threads in parallel to find their individual partitions. This is a faster search than the global partitioning search because shared memory has much lower latency, and intra-CTA cross-diagonals are much shorter than global cross-diagonals, resulting in binary searches that converge after fewer iterations. The intra-CTA Merge Path searches are conducted in the tile's local coordinate system. Cross-diagonals are given indices VT * tid.
The starting cursor for each thread (a0tid and b0tid) is handed to SerialMerge
, which loads keys from shared memory, merges them, and returns a fragment of the result in register.
template<int VT, bool RangeCheck, typename T, typename Comp> MGPU_DEVICE void SerialMerge(const T* keys_shared, int aBegin, int aEnd, int bBegin, int bEnd, T* results, int* indices, Comp comp) { T aKey = keys_shared[aBegin]; T bKey = keys_shared[bBegin]; #pragma unroll for(int i = 0; i < VT; ++i) { bool p; if(RangeCheck) p = (bBegin >= bEnd) || ((aBegin < aEnd) && !comp(bKey, aKey)); else p = !comp(bKey, aKey); results[i] = p ? aKey : bKey; indices[i] = p ? aBegin : bBegin; if(p) aKey = keys_shared[++aBegin]; else bKey = keys_shared[++bBegin]; } __syncthreads(); }
Partitioning doesn't really differentiate merge from similar functions, as all it does is handle scheduling. The soul of this function is SerialMerge
. Incredible throughput is achieved because Merge Path isn't simply a very good partitioning; it's an exact partition. The merge kernel is tuned to a specific (odd) number of values per thread. For a CTA with 128 threads (NT) and 11 values per thread (VT), each tile loads and merges 1408 inputs (NV). These inputs aren't simply merged cooperatively, though. They are merged independently by the 128 threads, 11 per thread, which is far better.
Because each thread merges precisely 11 elements, the SerialMerge
routine can unroll its loop. Accesses to the output arrays results
and indices
are now static (the iterator for unrolled loops is treated as a constant by the compiler). Because we're using only static indexing, the outputs can be stored in register rather than shared memory. RF capacity is much higher than shared memory capacity, and the performance tuning strategy of increasing grain size to amortize partitioning costs always results in underoccupied kernels. Storing outputs in register cuts the kernel's shared memory footprint in half, doubling occupancy, and boosting performance.
Important: Structure your code to only dynamically index either the sources or the destinations (not both). Use loop unrolling to statically index the complementary operations in register, then synchronize and swap. Exact partitioning facilitates this pattern, which doubles occupancy to improve latency-hiding.
Keys are returned into results
. indices
(the locations of keys in shared memory) are also returned to facilitate a value gather for sort-by-key. For key-only merge, operations involving indices
should be eliminated by the compiler.
Note that the next item in each sequence is fetched prior to the start of the next iteration. This reduces two shared loads per thread to just one, which reduces bank conflicts across the warp. Unfortunately it may also cause us to read off the end of the B array. To prevent an illegal access failure in the kernel, allocate at leats one extra slot in shared memory. This doesn't compromise occupancy at all, because we use odd numbered VT parameters—we can reserve up to a full additional slot per thread before the extra provisioning reduces the number of concurrent CTAs per SM.
Important: If fetching the next iteration's data at the end of the loop body, allocate an extra slot in shared memory to prevent illegal access violations.
template<int NT, int VT, bool HasValues, typename KeysIt1, typename KeysIt2, typename KeysIt3, typename ValsIt1, typename ValsIt2, typename KeyType, typename ValsIt3, typename Comp> MGPU_DEVICE void DeviceMerge(KeysIt1 aKeys_global, ValsIt1 aVals_global, KeysIt2 bKeys_global, ValsIt2 bVals_global, int tid, int block, int4 range, KeyType* keys_shared, int* indices_shared, KeysIt3 keys_global, ValsIt3 vals_global, Comp comp) { KeyType results[VT]; int indices[VT]; DeviceMergeKeysIndices<NT, VT>(aKeys_global, bKeys_global, range, tid, keys_shared, results, indices, comp); // Store merge results back to shared memory. DeviceThreadToShared<VT>(results, tid, keys_shared); // Store merged keys to global memory. int aCount = range.y - range.x; int bCount = range.w - range.z; DeviceSharedToGlobal<NT, VT>(aCount + bCount, keys_shared, tid, keys_global + NT * VT * block); // Copy the values. if(HasValues) { DeviceThreadToShared<VT>(indices, tid, indices_shared); DeviceTransferMergeValues<NT, VT>(aCount + bCount, aVals_global + range.x, bVals_global + range.z, aCount, indices_shared, tid, vals_global + NT * VT * block); } }
DeviceMerge
, one level closer to the kernel, invokes DeviceMergeKeysIndices
and receives the merged results and indices in register. Each thread uses DeviceThreadtoShared
to store its merged keys to shared memory at VT * tid + i, synchronizes, and calls DeviceSharedToGlobal
to cooperatively make coalesced stores to the destination array. DeviceTransferMergeValues
(discussed here) uses the indices to gather values from global memory and store them back, coalesced, to vals_global
.
DeviceMerge
does the heavy lifting for both MGPU's merge and mergesort kernels.
To recap merge:
Prior to the merge kernel, use MergePathPartitions
for coarse-grained exact partitioning.
At the start of the kernel, ComputeMergeRange
determines the intervals to load from arrays A and B. DeviceLoad2ToShared
loads these into shared memory; first A, then B.
MergePath
searches keys in shared memory to find a fine-grained partitioning of data, with VT items per thread.
Each thread makes VT trips through an unrolled loop, dynamically indexing into shared memory retrieving keys, comparing them, and emitting the smaller key to an array in register, using the static loop iterator.
After synchronization each thread writes its values back at VT * tid + i (thread order). The values are cooperatively transferred to the destination in global memory using coalesced stores.
Indices are stored to shared memory (writing from thread order into strided order). DeviceTransferMergeValues
uses these to gather merged values from the input. It makes coalesced stores to the destination.
Much of the MGPU Merge implementation is shared with Mergesort—these portions are covered on the next page.


Honeybees are subject to microbial diseases caused by bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and fungi.
The honeybee constantly cleans the hive, removing dead larvae and bees, and seals off bacteria
by using propolis. The two most prolific diseases that will be covered is the American
foulbrood disease (AFD) and Sacbrood disease.
The worst bacterial disease that affects a bee colony is the American foulbrood disease (AFB);
This disease only affects the bee brood, it is contagious, and can live dormant for up to 50 years or more.
The hive will start to have a few dead larvae or pupae; which will increase and infect other
hives. Treatment will consist of killing the infected hive and bees
with a poisonous gas called sulphur powder. The dead bees, and all the hive materials and infected
equipment are placed into a hole in the ground and burned with kerosene, and then the hole is
covered with dirt to prevent other bees from stealing any contaminated honey.
Sacbrood disease is a common disease caused by the virus Morator aetotulas. This virus affects the
larvae and they will fail to mature after four days.
The honeybees hygiene methods will aid the hive in recovering. Often this virus proliferates when
the hive is under stress due to food shortages, inadequate queen, poor bee hygiene, other diseases,
and adverse climatic conditions. To treat this virus, it may be necessary to replace the queen,
providing food, and increasing the worker bees.
Protozoan disease or Nosema disease is caused by the Nosema apis protozoa. Their spores infect adult bees as
the bee absorbs the protozoa in food, where it proliferates in the gut, causing a disruption of protein metabolism.
Their abdomen will appear shiny and swollen. The bees most affected will be incapable of flying,
have a reduced life span, and a deterioration of hypopharyngeal glands will ensue. The queen bee’s capacity
of egg-laying will be reduced. If the bees cannot fly, the disease will proliferate, and weaken the strength
of the colony. Only a microscopic inspection can determine if the bees have been attacked by the Nosema apis
protozoa. The treatment could consist of replacing the queen, and removing the affected and weakened bees.
Strong stress-free hives with ample ventilation and climate control can help eliminate the possibility of being
attacked by this parasite. Honeybees and their queens should be purchased from disease-free sources, and hives
that may be infected by the Nosema apis protozoa should be treated with heat and fumigation. Honeycombs should
be changed every two years. An antibiotic, fumagillin, can be used when the hive may experience stress, such as
humidity from rain, or winter cold. Antibiotics must not be administered if it pollutes the honey.
Tracheal Mite:
Acarapis woodi, or tracheal mite, is microscophic in size that invades the tracheal area of the adult honeybee, and within a few
days, lays eggs. After twelve days, the male mites emerge, and 13-16 days later, the females emerge. These mites
decrease the life span of the honeybee, causing a loss of colony strength, and can result in increased loss of bees
during the winter. To accurately diagnosis the infestation, 20 bees that are unable to fly are dissected and
inspected for the mites which can be located in the thorax at the end of the first tracheal pair. Treatment
consists of ethereal oils and formic acid.
