A novel Fish Protein Hydrolysate supplement enhances honey bee foraging activity and colony strength: A pilot study

Honey bees require diverse nectar and pollen sources for optimal nutrition, espe cially during late winter and early spring. This study evaluated the effect...

First evidence of large hive beetle (Oplostomus fuligineus) invasion in the Arabian region: a survey‑based study of spread and future management

Large hive beetles (Oplostomus fuligineus, LHB) have long been recognized as significant pests of honey bee colonies, particularly across the African continent. Although LHBS...

Exploring the risk of microplastics to pollinators: focusing on honey bees

The rapid increase in global plastic production and usage has led to global environmental contamination, with microplastics (MPs) emerging as a significant concern. Pollinators...

Gamma irradiation and ozone application as preservation methods for longer‑term storage of bee pollen

Bee pollen is a healthy product with a good nutritional profile and therapeutic properties. Its high moisture content, however, promotes the growth of bacteria,...

Honey bee venom promotes the immune system and reduces Vairimorpha (Nosema) ceranae infection in honey bees (Apis mellifera L.)

Bee venom (BV) extraction has become a standardized practice, characterized by being safe, simple, and causing no harm to bees. Though it demonstrated significant...

Chronic exposure to pesticides disrupts the bacterial and fungal co-existence and the cross-kingdom network characteristics of honey bee gut microbiome

Gut microbiome communities have a significant impact on bee health and disease and have been shown to be shaped by a variety of factors,...

Transcriptomic Responses Underlying the High Virulence of Black Queen Cell Virus and Sacbrood Virus following a Change in Their Mode of Transmission in Honey...

Background: Over the last two decades, honey bees (Apis mellifera) have suffered high rates of colony losses that have been attributed to a variety...

Nationwide Screening for Bee Viruses in Apis mellifera Colonies in Egypt

Honey bees are essential for crop and wild plant pollination. However, many countries have reported high annual colony losses caused by multiple possible stressors....

Chronic Exposure to Polystyrene Microplastic Fragments Has No Effect on Honey Bee Survival, but Reduces Feeding Rate and Body Weight

Microplastics (MPs), in the form of fragments and fibers, were recently found in honey samples collected in Ecuador as well as in honey bees...
