This publication explores the roles pesticides may play in bee health, examines the latest knowledge in this fast-developing field of research, and discusses the regulatory effort to determine the risk of pesticides to honey bees and other pollinators.

In this article, we explore the politics of expertise in an ongoing controversy in the United States over the role of certain insecticides in colony collapse disorder – a phenomenon involving mass die-offs of honey bees.

A paradigm in studies of eusociality is that worker sterility is a key to societal functions because advanced sociality cannot be achieved when there is conflict over
reproduction

The alarming loss of pollinator diversity world-wide can reduce the productivity of pollinator-dependent crops.

This study aims to assess the effect of propolis supplementation on clinical symptoms in patients with coronavirus (COVID-19).

Effects of pesticides, lethal and sub-lethal: Stop of egg laying, Aggressiveness & Hypothermia, Reduce of orientation ability, Reduce of hygienic behaviour, Reduce of memory ability, Brood intoxication, Reduce function of the heart, glands, Damage in parts of the bee brain.

Varroa destructor, a key biotic threat to the Western honey bee, has played a major role in colony losses over the past few years worldwide. Overuse of traditional acaricides, such as tau-fluvalinate and flumethrin, on V. destructor has only increased its tolerance to them.

Pollinator foraging performance could be altered by volcanic ash, contaminated flowers, pollen and nectar.

Varroa destructor is considered as the causal agent of the most severe parasitosis of the honey bee.
