Thiamethoxam impairs honey bee visual learning, alters decision times, and increases abnormal behaviors. [PDF]
, 2020 Learning is important for honey bee fitness and the pollination services that they provide. Neonicotinoid pesticides impair learning, fitness, colony health, and pollination, but most studies on how they affect bee learning have focused on olfactory ...

The role of Honey-bee (Apis mellifera L.) in pollination of fruit species [PDF]
Agroznanje, 2013 Starting with the scientifically proven fact that we should keep bees even if we do not obtain their products (honey, wax, nectar, propolis, sour and bees poison) means that indirect benefit and importance of bees is greater than the direct one.

Agriculturally dominated landscapes reduce bee phylogenetic diversity and pollination services
Science, 2019 Ancestral history matters Biodiversity is sometimes quantified purely by the number of species within a system that allow it to function to produce ecosystem services. Grab et al. show that simple species counting is too simplistic.

Insects, 2023 Certain crops depend upon pollination services for fruit set, and, of these, almonds are of high value for Australia. Stressors, such as diseases, parasites, pesticides, and nutrition, can contribute to honey bee Apis mellifera L. colony decline, thereby
