Abstrakt: The recently observed honey bee colony losses have already raised concerns about the future of the managed honey bees and the bees in general. One of the most powerful approach to simulate and predict the dynamics of a complex system, which a honey bee colony undoubtedly is, is the mathematical modelling. We have adopted a compartment model to study the behaviour in a honey bee colony. A system of three ordinary differential equations with a control on the mites was introduced to model the populations of the hive bees, forager bees and mites. We solve a parameter identification inverse problem to reconstruct the values, which are directly unobservable but vital in honeybee management. We apply an adjoint equation optimization approach to solve the inverse problem. Numerical test examples are discussed and the paper is concluded with important implications about the honey bee management. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
