A review of selected bee products as potential anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-viral agents [PDF]

, 2016
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the greatest medical challenges the world faces. It was estimated recently that by 2050, AMR will account for 10 million extra deaths annually with additional economic costs in the region of $100 trillion.

Floral specialization for beetle pollination and its implications for pollen dispersal in an African orchid

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Pollination by beetles is relatively rare in orchids, and this has been attributed to the clumsy behavior of beetles being unsuitable for the precise pollen transfer mechanisms that characterize the orchid family. We investigated floral specialization for beetle pollination in the rare fire‐dependent South African orchid Disa elegans ...

Co‐flowering with congeners does not affect buzz‐pollinator specialization and pollination performance in Rhexia mariana, but does affect floral trait variance

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Pollinator‐mediated plant‐plant interactions may be negative (i.e., competition, reproductive interference) or positive (i.e., facilitation). Especially when co‐flowering with close relatives (e.g., congeners), negative interactions through reproductive interference may be strong and result in floral trait divergence and increased ...

Bee‐Derived Antioxidants as a Protective Strategy Against Doxorubicin‐Induced Ovarian Damage

Chemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.
Graphical abstract of Bee‐Derived Antioxidants as a Protective Strategy Against Doxorubicin‐Induced Ovarian Damage ABSTRACT Antineoplastic agents can induce tissue damage through oxidative stress mechanisms. Doxorubicin, a widely used chemotherapeutic agent, has been shown to cause permanent damage to reproductive tissues.

Five Frontiers for Science and Practice of Ecosystem Restoration in East African Forest Landscapes 东非森林景观生态系统恢复的科学与实践:五大前沿

Integrative Conservation, EarlyView.
Implementing ecosystem restoration remains challenging for policymakers and practitioners. Focusing on Rwanda, we used a participatory world‐café approach involving scientists, practitioners, and decision‐makers working on ecosystem restoration to identify emerging challenges and future research priority areas. We identified five critical frontiers for

Bee products as alternatives in the treatment of viral infections

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Medicines used in the treatment of viral infections usually reduce symptoms. There is a need to develop drugs that inhibit the viruses and do not merely relieve the symptoms. Natural bee products possess many pharmacological properties and are widely used in folk medicine. There are many studies on the antibacterial effects of bee products but

Seasonal trends in honey bee pollen foraging revealed through DNA barcoding of bee-collected pollen [PDF]

Insectes Sociaux, 2017
Recent declines in the abundance and diversity of wild bee species have made it important to understand how introduced species such as honey bees contribute to pollinating native plants. In this study, we decoded the waggle dances of Apis mellifera pollen foragers and used DNA barcoding of bee-collected pollen over 17 months to characterize spatio ...
