Imidacloprid is a neonicotinoid pesticide heavily used by the agricultural industry and shown to have negative impacts on honey bees above certain concentrations. We evaluated the effects of different imidacloprid concentrations in sugar syrup using cage and field studies, and across different environments.

Over a decade, declines in honey bee colonies have raised worldwide concerns. Several potentially contributing factors have been investigated, e.g. parasites, diseases, and pesticides..

Since cherry flower is easy-to-reach, bees and pollinators can smoothly collect nectar as a reward for doing transfer of pollen to receptive stigma.

Mode of action It acts on nAChRs, with a pharmacological profile similar to that of imidacloprid (Cutler et al. 2013).

The well-known method of thermal action on Varroa mites has proven itself more or less successfully only in thermal chambers.

Colony managements applied by beekeepers have effective roles in maintaining the increase in colony size and productivity. Some specific measurements used with this criteria have selective importance in honey production.

Samples of honey (sixty nine), pancake and corn syrup (twenty six), soy sauce (twenty eight), soy milk (eleven), and tofu (twenty) purchased in the Philadelphia, US metropolitan area were analyzed for glyphosate residue using ELISA.

An isolated honey bee population (N = 150) was established on the southern tip of Gotland, an island in the Baltic sea.

The development of an introduced Varroa destructor mite population was monitored in swarming and non-swarming colonies for two years in a Nordic climate.
