Ant (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) pests of honey bee colonies in Cameroon

Abstract

Global reports of ant-honey bee interactions show that the former threatens the latter's existence and the sustainability of the beekeeping sector. However, little is known about existing ant species and their impact on managed honey bees, especially in Africa. This research identifies ant species and their interactions with managed honey bee colonies in Cameroon.
