The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of chronical exposure of honeybee drones to environmental (5 ppb) and non-environmental concentration (200 ppb) of imidacloprid (IMD) on sperm concentration, motility, viability, and mitochondrial membrane potential measured in semen obtained from 180 drones originating from 18 colonies.

This paper describes basic methods essential in elucidating chemically-mediated behavioural interactions among honey bees, and between honey bees and other arthropods.

This study aims to compare colony performance, Varroa mite development and infestation rates under two different management strategies: conventional and innovative.

Organic agriculture is proposed as a promising approach to achieving sustainable food systems, but its feasibility is also contested.

Studies have unraveled the strengths and weaknesses of honeybees and may guide the beekeeping world in developing strategies favoring their resilience.

The efficacy of six essential oils compared with formic acid and Apistan strips against Varroa mite.

The impact of pathogens on this decline may be particularly important in conjunction with the accumulation of pesticide

In this study, different context-dependent effects of imidacloprid exposure on the honey bee response were studied. Honey bees were exposed to different concentrations of imidacloprid during a time period of 40 days...

lt has been shown that drone larvae can develop from fertilized eggs (Woyke, l963a):Results described in a more recent paper (1965), together with those not.yet published, enable us to refer to them as diploid drones

Reports of honey bee population decline has spurred many national efforts to understand the extent of the problem and to identify causative or associated factors.
