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.

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

A very old catalog - May 1898 - from Root Bee Keepers Supplies. Still interesting after one century :-)

We aim to gain more knowledge for ensuring sustainable beekeeping and adequate pollination services.

The beekeeper will provide colonies with the following minimum standards:A laying queen with frames of adult bees and frames of brood.

In December 2013, the European Commission restricted the use of 3 highly bee-toxic neonicotinoid insecticides, namely imidacloprid, clothianidin and thiamethoxam

This White Paper recognizes how complicated the food supply chain is and how difficult it can be for stakeholders to see the big picture.

Factors associated with agricultural intensification, for example, loss of seminatural vegetation and pesticide use has been shown to adversely affect the bee community. These factors may impact the bee community differently at different landscape scales.
