The increasing loss of honey bee colonies is assumed to be caused by various factors such
as habitat degradation, parasites, pathogens, or the exposure to environmental pollutants …

Brood diseases and pesticides can reduce the survival of bee larvae, reduce bee
populations, and negatively influence ecosystem biodiversity. However, major gaps persist …

In this work, the stereoselective degradation of prothioconazole in five soils was investigated
and the metabolite prothioconazole-desthio was determined. The effects of prothioconazole …

Honey bees are commonly co-exposed to pesticides during crop pollination, including the
fungicide captan and neonicotinoid insecticide thiamethoxam. We assessed the impact of …

Neonicotinoid and fungicide exposure has been linked to immunosuppression and
increased susceptibility to disease in honeybees (Apis mellifera). European foulbrood …

Foraging is essential for honey bee colony fitness and is enhanced by the waggle dance, a
recruitment behavior in which bees can communicate food location and quality. We tested if …

As in other organisms, the antioxidant cellular defense system of bees helps maintain
homeostasis. However, extrinsic factors such as pesticides and nutritional deficiencies can …

Overwinter colony mortality is an ongoing challenge for North American beekeepers. During
winter, honey bee colonies rely on stored honey and beebread, which is frequently …

Bumblebees can be exposed to neonicotinoid pesticides through nectar and pollen
collected from treated crops, which can cause lethal and sublethal effects in these nontarget …

Although pesticides are a key driver of bee decline globally, the contribution of non-
insecticidal pesticides, specifically herbicides and fungicides, is poorly understood. The …
