Beekeeping is important for securing food, poverty reduction, health, environmental
protection and plant pollination. These important practices are challenged by many biotic …

The growing gap between new evidence of pesticide toxicity in honeybees and conventional
toxicological assays recommended by regulatory test guidelines emphasizes the need to …

From cells in tissue, to bird flocks, to human crowds, living systems display a stunning variety
of collective behaviors. Yet quantifying such phenomena first requires tracking a significant …

Abstract The European Parliament requested EFSA to develop a holistic risk assessment of
multiple stressors in honey bees. To this end, a systems‐based approach that is composed …

Honey bees (Apis mellifera) are widely used for honey production and crop pollination,
raising concern for wild pollinators, as honey bees may compete with wild pollinators for …

Honey bees are essential pollinators for several economically important crops. In temperate
countries, honey bee colonies face multiple threats during the overwintering period, such as …

Sulfoxaflor is a novel sulfoximine insecticide which is widely used to control crop pests. Risk
assessments have reported its high toxicity to pollinators. However, sulfoxaflor is not …

Honey bees are important pollinators of agricultural crops and the dramatic losses of honey
bee colonies have risen to a level of international concern. Potential contributors to such …

Bee declines are driven by multiple combined stresses, making it exceedingly difficult to
identify experimentally the most critical threats to bees and their pollination services. We …

It is common knowledge that nutritive stress resulting from decreased diversity and quality of
food, pollution of food sources and beekeeping errors may lead to increased susceptibility of …
