Activity Title	Behavioral response of the small hive beetle, Aethina tumida (Coleoptera: Nitidulidae) to volatiles of Apicure®, a plant-based extract
Details	Biological invasions pose a global threat to both food security and natural ecosystems. Intra-colony destruction has been accredited to the feeding behavior of adult and larval beetles. Previous studies have also reported potential alternative hosts for the SHB such as stingless bee colonies. To date, several studies on non-chemical management strategies for. In this study, we hypothesized that Apicuren Objectives Course Objective The small hive beetle (SHB),. Volatiles from Apicure® were collected using super Q adsorbent traps. Subsequent analysis was done using Gas chromatography- mass spectrophotometry (GC-MS) to ascertain the components of Apicure®. The selectivity and sensitivity of antennal receptors of. GC-MS analysis showed that Apicure® consists of 40 compounds. GC-EAD analysis isolated 11 compounds that elicited antennal response with the SHB.
