An experiment was carried out to investigate the efficacy of HiveAlive to disrupt the plasma membrane/spore coat of Nosema ceranae thereby killing the spores of this microsporidian parasite of honeybees.

Understanding preferences and aversions to nectar quality in flower visitors is crucial as this may influence the patterns of insect floral visitation.

Due to their large numbers, easy transportation, and special adaptation for efficient foraging (e.g. dance language), European honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) play a critical role in Michigan and US agriculture.

This study was conducted to isolate and diagnose different isolates of Varroa parasite collected from different regions of Iraq, lran, Turkey, Syria, Egypt, and Jordan.

This booklet (44 pages) contains four chapters on the theory underlying the design of breeding programs in honeybees.

Nosema ceranae primarily infects honey bee gut epithelial cells, leading to impaired memory, suppressed host immune responses and even CCD.

Pollination is a key ecosystem service for agricultural systems and Western honey bees, Apis mellifera, are the most important managed pollinators. ent efforts for managed pollinators.

The impacts of COVID-19 on human society are far-reaching. To estimate for the first time its impact on the bee research and education community, the Executive Committee of COLOSS (prevention of honey bee COlony LOSSes) developed an internet-based survey that was disseminated through COLOSS members to relevant stakeholders.

Pollinator declines can result in loss of pollination services which have important negative ecological and economic impacts that could significantly affect the maintenance of wild plant diversity.

Neonicotinoid pesticides pose severe threats to ecosystems worldwide, according to new information contained in an update to the world’s most comprehensive scientific review of the ecological impacts of systemic pesticides.
