One of the main priorities of the European Commission is to reduce by 50% the use of chemical pesticides by 2030, especially the most hazardous ones.

Current approaches to risk assessment in bees do not take into account co-exposures from multiple stressors. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) is deploying resources and efforts to move towards a holistic risk assessment approach of multiple stressors in bees..

The entire focus of this QWoE was to assess the evidence for effects of neonicotinoids on honey-bees at the level of the colony.

The European Commission has asked the EFSA to evaluate the risk for animal health related to the presence of hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) in honey bee feed.

This study measured part of the in-hive pesticide exposome by analyzing residues from live in-hive bees, stored pollen, and wax in migratory colonies over time and compared exposure to colony health.

This policy brief analyses the spread and threats posed by invasive hornets, particularly Vespa velutina and Vespa orientalis, to the European environment, public health, and economy.

The health of honey bee colonies is, amongst others, affected by the amount, quality and diversity of available melliferous plants.
