The question of which hive is best for beekeeping in the developing world goes beyond beekeeping and enters the realm of economics and development theory.

Behavioral traits have generally been perceived as highly plastic and independant of other traits.

We present our latest understanding of how these electric interactions arise and how they contribute to pollination and electroreception.

To evaluate the risks of pesticides for pollinators, we must not only evaluate their toxicity but also understand how pollinators are exposed to these xenobiotics in the field. We focused on this last point and modeled honey bee exposure to pesticides at the landscape level.

The complete mitochondrial genome of the western honey bee subspecies Apis mellifera lamarckii was sequenced

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.
