Genetics, Synergists, and Age Affect Insecticide Sensitivity of the Honey Bee, Apis mellifera. [PDF]
The number of honey bee colonies in the United States has declined to half of its peak level in the 1940s, and colonies lost over the winter have reached levels that are becoming economically unstable.

Performance of two honey bee subspecies during harsh weather and Acacia gerrardii nectar-rich flow
Both climatic factors and bee forage characteristics affect the population size and productivity of honey bee colonies. To our knowledge, no scientific investigation has as yet considered the potential effect of nectar-rich bee forage exposed to drastic ...

Protein levels and colony development of Africanized and European honey bees fed natural and artificial diets [PDF]
Pollen substitute diets are a valuable resource for maintaining strong and health honey bee colonies. Specific diets may be useful in one region or country and inadequate or economically unviable in others.

Assessment of the response of pollinator abundance to environmental pressures using structured expert elicitation [PDF]
Policy-makers often need to rely on experts with disparate fields of expertise when making policy choices in complex, multi-faceted, dynamic environments such as those dealing with ecosystem services.

Long-term effect of temperature on honey yield and honeybee phenology [PDF]
There is growing concern about declines in pollinator species, and more recently reservations have been expressed about mismatch in plant-pollinator synchrony as a consequence of phenological change caused by rising temperatures.
