The “Healthy and Sustainable Beekeeping” Special Issue in the open-access journal by MDPI Insects aims to bring together research articles and reviews of various disciplines related to the beekeeping of Apis spp. (including Apis mellifera and any of the Asian honey bees). The editing and publication of the collection will be implemented within the scope…
The Center for Pollinator Health at the Delta Research and Extension Center in Stoneville, MS, is seeking a motivated and diligent master’s student to join the lab by January 2024. The successful candidate will engage in a blend of field and laboratory experiments, utilizing cutting-edge molecular tools, to investigate viral infections in honey bee queens…
The western honey bee is highly valued for its important role as natural pollinator. In Morocco, pollination services of Apis mellifera along with other insect pollinators were estimated at 1.2 billion US$. Regrettably, biological stressors including pathogens are leading factors contributing to colony losses and hampering pollination services. The aim of this study was to…

The tiny population of the endemic Maltese honey bee (A. m. ruttneri) is threatened by anthropogenic influences, such as urbanisation, habitat loss, and unsustainable agricultural practices, but most prominently by the importation of commercially important non-native stock. To obtain data on the colony life cycle parameters of A. m. ruttneri and to measure its apicultural performance in…
Honeybees are the most critical pollinators providing key ecosystem services that underpin crop production and sustainable agriculture. Amidst a backdrop of rapid global change, this eusocial insect encounters a succession of stressors during nesting, foraging, and pollination. Ectoparasitic mites, together with vectored viruses, have been recognized as central biotic threats to honeybee health, while the…
