Neonicotinoid pesticides pose severe threats to ecosystems worldwide, according to new information contained in an update to the world’s most comprehensive scientific review of the ecological impacts of systemic pesticides.

The mutualism between plants and their pollinators is likely to be disrupted by global warming that can cause mismatches between both halves of this interaction.

We explored the potential disruption of a ubiquitous mutualistic interaction of terrestrial habitats, that between plants and their animal pollinators, via climate change.

Glyphosate may affect bacterial symbionts of animals living near agricultural sites, including pollinators such as bees.

This publication is a visual, practical manual on sustainable beekeeping for small-scale beekeepers in rural areas in Africa.

A “Great Pesticide Debate” was held on today, 16th of November in Brussels for stakeholders of
the agricultural and environmental sector in Europe.

Our results show that green roofs can be a suitable habitat for wild bee species living in urban areas but not so much for hoverflies.

Varroa mite mortality and mite damage in colonies of Apis cerana cerana Fabr and Apis mellifera ligustica Spin, where mites were added to observation hive bees and to full-sized colonies of both bee species, were studied.

Grooming behavior of honey bees can be considered in two major categories: autogrooming or self-grooming and inter-bee grooming, called allogrooming.

Grooming behavior is considered a varroosis tolerance factor of Africanized honey bees, but this behavior is difficult to evaluate directly within the honey bee colony.
