Testing microbial pest control products in bees, a comparative study on different bee species and their interaction with two representative microorganisms

Background: The evaluation of the impact of pesticides on non-target species, like bees, is a crucial factor in registration procedures. Therefore, standardized test procedures...

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...

Effects of Flupyradifurone and Two Reference Insecticides Commonly Used in Toxicological Studies on the Larval Proteome of the Honey bee Apis mellifera

The western honey bee Apis mellifera is globally distributed due to its beekeeping advantages and plays an important role in the global ecology and economy. In...

Impact of microorganisms and entomopathogenic nematodes used for plant protection on solitary and social bee pollinators

Abstract Pollinating bees are stressed by highly variable environmental conditions, malnutrition, parasites and pathogens, but may also by getting in contact with microorganisms or entomopathogenic...

Long-term field-realistic exposure to a next-generation pesticide, flupyradifurone, impairs honey bee behaviour and survival

Abstract: Simone Tos, James C. Nieh, Annely Brandt, Monica Colli, Julie Fourrier, Herve Giffard, Javier Hernández-López, Valeria Malagnini, Geoffrey R. Williams, Noa Simon-Delso The assessment of...

Metabolomics unveils the influence of dietary phytochemicals on residual pesticide concentrations in honey bees

The losses of honey bee colonies and declines of other insect pollinators have been associated with negative effects of pesticides. Honey bees as well...
