Investigation, it’s not honey
|
This also means that beekeepers are losing income. If they go out of business, we will lose bees and with this, their pollination services. |

Is the future of bees in the hands of the pesticide lobby?
|
Bees and other pollinating insect numbers are falling dramatically, putting their future survival in jeopardy with catastrophic consequences for ecosystems and agriculture. In some European countries, bees are disappearing from the environment at a shocking rate of up to 20-32% a year |

Long-term yield trends of insect-pollinated crops vary regionally
|
Abstract Time series data on crop yields for two main wind-pollinated crops (barley and wheat) and for three crops benefitting from insect pollination (turnip rapeseed, caraway, and black currant), were compiled from official agricultural statistics. |

Measures of the effects of agricultural practices on ecosystem services
|
Agriculture produces more than just crops. Agricultural practices have environmental impacts that affect a wide range of ecosystem services, including water quality, pollination, nutrient cycling, soil retention, carbon sequestration, and biodiversity conservation. |

Migratory management and environmental conditions affect lifespan and oxidative stress in honey bees
|
Most pollination in large-scale agriculture is dependent on managed colonies of a single species, the honey bee Apis mellifera. More than 1 million hives are transported to California each year just to pollinate the almonds, and bees are trucked across the country for various cropping systems. |

Modification of the head proteome of nurse honeybees exposed to field-relevant doses of pesticides
|
Understanding the effect of pesticides on the survival of honeybee colonies is important because these pollinators are reportedly declining globally. |

Multi-dimensional modelling tools supporting decision-making for the beekeeping sector
|
We propose a modelling framework aiming at assessing the bee health status and forecast colony outputs. Two modelling tools are here presented: (i) a Health Status Index (HSI) exploring the consequences of abiotic, biotic drivers and beekeeping actions on bee health; and (ii) predictive models for the estimation of honey production and the provision of pollination service considering abiotic, biotic drivers and HSI. |

Multi-level selection for hygienic behaviour in honeybees
|
It is a particularly important and increasing threat to the managed honeybee colonies, which are vital in crop pollination. Artificial selection for disease-resistant honeybee genotypes has previously only been carried out at the colony-level, that is, by using queens or males reared from colonies that show resistance. |
