###### Abstract
[8] described the protocol adopted in the Calabria region (southern Italy) to manage SHB-positive sentinel honeybee colonies under the supervision and management of the local official veterinary service to find a more effective and less time-consuming approach to SHB surveillance. [PERSON] et al. [9] presented the results of an international survey regarding the risk assessment of honeybee (_A. mellifera_) health for Varroa infestation management. They took into consideration the adoption of good beekeeping practices and proper biosecurity measures, revealing a significant interest of beekeepers in additional bee health training and connecting with veterinary experts who specialize in bees. [PERSON] et al. [10] reported a worldwide survey performed in 2015-2017 to gather information on beekeepers' perceptions concerning good beekeeping practices, the main honeybee diseases, and the technical assistance which they receive. [PERSON] et al. [11] demonstrated that continued and severe exposure to varroa leads to increased viral charges and decreased sugar concentrations in haemolymphs, with possible alterations in immunity, metabolism, and reserve mobilization. [PERSON] et al. [12] developed the Bee Ethic system to apply hyperthermia in order to control _V. destructor_, using an integrated pest management (IPM) approach without chemicals. [PERSON] et al. [13] recorded the efficacy of VarroMed(r) against _V. destructor_ in different climatic conditions, ranging from 71.2 to 89.3% in the summer/ autumn and from 71.8 to 95.6% in the winter. According to [PERSON] et al. [14], the powdered sugar roll method may be suggested to beekeepers as a suitable IPM tool for estimating the level of varroa infestation, while natural mite fall represents a more accurate method that could be adopted for selection/research purposes. [PERSON] et al. [15] presented a new, quantitative TaqMan(r) probe-based real-time PCR (qPCR) assay, targeting the 165 rRNA gene of _P. larvae_. They used this for the quantification of _P. larvae_ spores in powdered sugar samples collected from hives, and compared them to the culture. A close concordance with the clinical-epidemiological statuses of the hives was observed using both methods, with higher infection levels detected by qPCR. [PERSON] et al. [16] investigated the efficacy of one strain of _Lectobacillus plantarum_ that was orally administered to honeybees for American and European foulbrood prevention. [PERSON] et al. [17], based on archive specimens of dead honeybees, pollen, honey, and vegetables, revealed the presence of many active substances, several belonging to hazard classes I and II, thus representing a potential risk for human health. Competent authorities could exploit the information provided by a One Health approach. [PERSON] et al. [18] detected inorganic particulate matter (PM) in pollen grains collected by forager bees in an industrial area of the Po Valley (Northern Italy), demonstrating the potential risk of PM entering the food chain and the exposure of bees to it via ingestion. [PERSON] et al. [19] investigated the health statuses of apiaries in different areas of the Veneto region (northeast of Italy) for two consecutive years (2020 and 2021) in the spring, during the resumption of honeybee activity. The viruses BQCV, SBV, and CBPV, followed by _V. cerane_ and _L. passim_, were the most prevalent pathogens, and many of the investigated hives, despite being asymptomatic, had different degrees of co-infection. By means of an end-point PCR, which was confirmed by Sanger sequencing, [PERSON] et al. [20] detected the presence of _A. woodi_ in samples of honeybees and hive debris collected from apiaries in the Latium region (Central Italy). A potential underestimation of the occurrence of _A. woodi_ in Italian apiaries is hypothesized. [PERSON] et al. [21] carried out a screening of natural products in laboratory cages, demonstrating their potential to reduce the levels of deformed wing virus (DWV-A and-B).
