Neonicotinoid pesticides were first registered for use in the mid 1990s. Since then, these chemicals have become widely adopted for use on farm crops, ornamental landscape plants, and trees.

Honey has been widely used for monitoring this element. The present work reports a novel method for the determination of arsenic in honey, bees, pollen, and propolis, based on the coupling of microwave digestion and hydride generation.

Understanding how anthropogenic landscape alteration affects populations of important insect pollinators has never been more pressing.

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.

Tools are provided to assess the health status of managed honeybee colonies by facilitating further harmonisation of data collection and reporting, design of field surveys across the European Union (EU) and analysis of data on bee health.

Here we present results of a three-year study to determine the fate of imidacloprid residues in hive matrices and to assess chronic sublethal effects on whole honey bee colonies fed supplemental pollen diet containing imidacloprid at 5, 20 and 100 µg/kg over multiple brood cycles.

American Foulbrood (AFB) is caused by a Gram-positive, rod shaped, spore-forming bacterium called Paenibacillus larvae.

Chalkbrood is one of the most common and widely recognised fungal diseases that affects honeybee brood, the causative agent of which is Ascosphaera apis. Currently, there are no approved treatments for the management of Chalkbrood infection in beekeeping operations. Anecdotal evidence from beekeepers suggests that use of the feed supplement HiveAlive may cause a reduction in Chalkbrood infection.

Palynology is considered one of the most important tools in the study of plantbee interactions. Among the various pollinating agents that exist in nature, bees occupy a prominent place because they live in society, but also in a solitary way, and have characteristics that favor pollination.
