Varroa mite is the most destructive pest to bee colonies worldwide. In Saudi Arabia, preliminary data indicated high infestation levels in the exotic honeybee colonies.

Apis mellifera, is undergoing a worldwide decline whose origin is still in debate.

Global decreases in bee populations emphasize the importance of assessing how environmental stressors afect colony maintenance, especially considering the extreme task specialization observed in honeybee societies.

We report the infestation of small hive beetle, Aethina tumida, in a honeybee, Apis cerana, in South China. This is the first record for domestic Chinese honey bee infested with small hive beetle.

The presence of nanoparticles on the body of the honeybee Apis dorsata Fabricius, was investigated for the first time to better understand the bee’s behaviour.

The Tropilaelaps spp. (Mesostigmata: Laelapidae), an ectoparasitic mite originally associated with such Asian giant honey bees as Apis dorsata, A. breviligula and A. laboriosa.

Here, we explore honey bee reactions to two new plant protection products: sulfoxaflor and flupyradifurone

As we learned today, on 9 October 2015, the European Commission and Member States have authorised Flupyradifurone, a new neonicotinoid insecticide.

We measured the distribution of sugar solution within groups of caged honey bees (Apis mellifera) under standard in vitro laboratory conditions using 14C polyethylene glycol as a radioactive marker to analyze ingestion by individual bees after group feeding.
