We assessed potential shifts in bumblebee species distributions with models generated using Maxent.

The European honey bee, Apis mellifera, is the most economically valuable pollinator of agricultural crops worldwide. Bees are also crucial in maintaining biodiversity by pollinating numerous plant species whose fertilisation requires an obligatory pollinator.

Bee pollen is a natural nutrient which contains vitamins, proteins, aminoacids, minerals and many other nutrient components. It may increase the immunity function of the body

The annual cycle of colony development of European honey bee (Apis mellifera) colonies is described in detail in many independent studies in temperate climates from North America...

During the past decade, scientific investigations and direct observations have revealed that there are multiple modes of economically motivated adulteration (EMA) which have plagued the international honey industry.

MEPs cast their vote today and have almost unanimously decided to adopt the ERDOS report, which elaborates on the perspectives and challenges of the European bee-keeping sector.

The EFSA Guidance was based on the scientific insights at that time and defined the ‘negligible exposure’ to protect bees to unacceptable effects of pesticides.

The quality of the supplemental diet influences the development and strength of the colony, especially during the pollen dearth period

American foulbrood is one of the most severe bacterial diseases affecting larvae of honey bees, and it is responsible for colony loss and reduced honey production.

Honey has previously been shown to have wound healing and antimicrobial properties, but this is dependent on the type of honey, geographical location and flower from which the final product is derived. We tested the antimicrobial activity of a Chilean honey made by Apis mellifera (honeybee) originating from the Ulmo tree (Eucryphia cordifolia), against selected strains of bacteria.
