T1  - BEEHAVE: a systems model of honeybee colony dynamics and foraging to explore multifactorial causes of colony failure
JF  - Journal of applied ecology : an official journal of the British Ecological Society
N2  - BEEHAVE offers a valuable tool for researchers to design and focus field experiments, for regulators to explore the relative importance of stressors to devise management and policy advice and for beekeepers to understand and predict varroa dynamics and effects of management interventions. We expect that scientists and stakeholders will find a variety of applications for BEEHAVE, stimulating further model development and the possible inclusion of other stressors of potential importance to honeybee colony dynamics.
