Tank mixtures of insecticides and fungicides, adjuvants, additives, fertilizers and their effects on honey bees after contact exposure in a spray chamber

open access: yesJulius-Kühn-Archiv, 2018
In agriculture honey bees may be exposed to multiple pesticides. In contrast to single applications of plant protection products (PPP), the effects of tank mixtures of two or more PPP on honey bees are not routinely assessed in the risk assessment of ...

Mouthparts of the bumblebee (Bombus terrestris) exhibit poor acuity for the detection of pesticides in nectar

open access: yeseLife, 2023
Bees are important pollinators of agricultural crops, but their populations are at risk when pesticides are used. One of the largest risks bees face is poisoning of floral nectar and pollen by insecticides. Studies of bee detection of neonicotinoids have

Royal jelly fermented by honeybee queen (Apis mellifera)-derived Lactobacillus panisapium M1 enhances macrophage phagocytosis through the TLR2/MAPK/SR signaling pathway

open access: yesBMC Complementary Medicine and Therapies
Background Royal jelly (RJ) has traditionally been used to maintain health, and its fatty acids (10-hydroxy decanoic acid and 10-hydroxy-2-decenoic acid) are reported to have immunomodulatory effects.
