A recently completed trial on a bee sting vaccine containing a novel adjuvantcalled Advax to increase its efficacy has raised hopes that severe allergicreactions, sometimes fatal, to bee venom in allergic people could be a thing of the past.

Here we discuss how honey bees decrease the risk of disease outbreaks by a combination of behaviors (social immunity) and individual immune function.

Land use, habitat, and forage quality have emerged as critical factors influencing the health, productivity, and survival of honey bee colonies.

While herbicide use in agriculture is expected to have many effects on surrounding weed communities, it is largely unknown how plant exposure to sublethal doses of herbicide may subsequently impact plant–pollinator interactions.

Apis mellifera jemenitica is the indigenous race of honey bees in the Arabian Peninsula and is tolerant to local drought conditions.

This paper proposes a new mathematical model to evaluate the effects of artificial feeding on bee colony population dynamics.

Ongoing environmental changes are however leading to pollinator declines that may cause pollen limitation to plants and change the evolutionary pressures shaping plant mating systems.

Beekeeping organisations and civil society concerns on pesticide risk assessment methodology and bees' .protection from pesticides

Bees and other pollinating insects, playing a crucial role in biodiversity and agriculture, are under threat. Bee colonies decline has been increasing in Europe. Neonicotinoids, a group of widely-used insecticides are accused of being one of the main culprits

The present work aimed to develop an optimized liposomal formulation for enhancing the anti-viral activity of propolis against COVID-19.
