The Latitudinal Biotic Interaction Hypothesis revisited: contrasting latitudinal richness gradients in actively vs. passively accumulated interaction partners of honey bees

Contrasting hypotheses suggest that the number of biotic interactions per species could either increase towards the equator due to the increasing richness of potential...

A systematic meta-analysis of the efficacy of treatments for a global honey bee pathogen – the Varroa mite

Highlights This study presents a meta-analysis of treatments for the pathogen Varroa destructor. Data was drawn from 138 studies, carried out in 30 countries...

Nurse honey bees filter fungicide residues to maintain larval health

Residues of plant protection products (PPPs) are frequently detected in bee matrices1–6 due to foraging bees collecting contaminated nectar and pollen, which they bring...

Characterisation of proteomic alterations in worker bees in response to amitraz treatment during summer to winter transition in Apis mellifera colonies

The application of treatments to reduce/control the number of Varroa destructor mites within Apis mellifera colonies is a common apicultural practice. The effectiveness of...

A Protocol for Monitoring Populations of Free-Living Western Honey Bees in Temperate Regions

Despite their ecological significance, wild Apis mellifera populations remain critically understudied. Addressing this research gap requires the study and monitoring of free-living colonies to identify potential...

Exposure of honey bees to mixtures of microbial biopesticides and their effects on bee survival under laboratory conditions

Biopesticides, having as active ingredients viruses, bacteria, or fungi, are developed to substitute or reduce the use of chemical plant protection products in different...

Honey bee colonies can buffer short-term stressor effects of pollen restriction and fungicide exposure on colony development and the microbiome

Honey bees (Apis mellifera) have to withstand various environmental stressors alone or in combination in agriculture settings. Plant protection products are applied to achieve...

Effect of honey bee apis mellifera l. pollination on oilseed rape

An experiment was conducted to survey insect visitors and the effect of different modes of pollination on quantity of oilseed rape. Survey revealed that...

Effects of local domestication warrant attention in honey bee population genetics

Honey bees, Apis mellifera, have for millennia been managed and exploited by humans and introduced into most suitable regions worldwide. However, given the lack...
