Effects of Glyphosate and Glyphosate‐Based Herbicides on the Mammalian Gut Microbiome: A Critical Review

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Glyphosate has long been considered to pose negligible direct risk to mammals on the grounds that its molecular target, 5‐enolpyruvylshikimate‐3‐phosphate synthase (EPSPS), of the shikimate pathway, is absent from animal cells. This rationale is inaccurate as a complete toxicological argument, because the shikimate pathway is present in some ...

Genotype B of deformed wing virus and related recombinant viruses become dominant in European honey bee colonies

Scientific Reports
The Varroa destructor mite’s transmission of deformed wing virus (DWV) to honey bees is responsible for most winter mortalities of colonies worldwide. Four DWV genotypes (A, B, C and D) and numerous recombinants have been described.

Bee pollen as functional food and environmental bioindicator: current evidence and future challenges

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Bee pollen (BP), a plant‐derived product collected by honey bees, is increasingly promoted as a functional food due to its content of proteins, essential amino acids, lipids, vitamins, minerals, and bioactive compounds such as polyphenols and flavonoids.

The first RNAi‐based biopesticide approved in the United States: regulatory implications for the European Union – the case of Ledprona (Calantha™)

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
The approval of the RNA interference‐based biopesticide Ledprona (Calantha™) in the USA marks a milestone for RNA‐based crop protection. We discuss the regulatory implications for the European Union, highlighting opportunities, challenges, and the need for adapted risk assessment frameworks for RNA‐based plant protection products.

Why rotation and mixture fail: treatment history and the declining acaricide efficacy in Varroa destructor

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
The effect of IRM strategies (rotation, mixture), one additional year under acaricide treatment (Years treated (+1 year)), and one year without acaricide treatment (Years off treatment (+1 year) on mite mortality relative to an approximately 17% baseline.

Comparison of nonchemical, organic and synthetic Varroa destructor control strategies in honey bee colonies: effects on parasite load, colony strength and health

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Combining intensive drone‐brood removal with brood interruption provided the most effective and consistent seasonal Varroa control. Abstract BACKGROUND Varroa destructor remains the most significant biotic threat to honey bee colonies, and increasing resistance to synthetic acaricides necessitates alternative control strategies.

Experimental infection of acute bee paralysis virus induces differential responses of selected honey bee immune genes, independent of varroa resistance

Scientific Reports
Honeybees (Apis mellifera) have a complex immune system, with both innate and social immunity. The mite-resistant honeybee population from Gotland, Sweden, is well-known for their independent resistance to Varroa destructor mites and tolerance to virus ...

Automatic insect identification, counting, and monitoring techniques: a review

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Automated insect monitoring increasingly integrates optical, acoustic, infrared, radar, electrostatic, and biosensing technologies with artificial intelligence. No single approach is universally optimal; reliable deployment depends on task‐specific validation, representative datasets, robustness under field conditions, energy autonomy, connectivity ...

Proteo‐transcriptomic insights into the venom composition of the ectoparasitoid Eupelmus urozonus

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Integrated venom‐gland transcriptomics and venom proteomics of Eupelmus urozonus identified 316 venom proteins, including 75 secreted candidates, revealing diverse hydrolases, proteases/inhibitors and many uncharacterized effectors. Abstract BACKGROUND Ectoparasitoid venoms are ‘cocktails’ of bioactive molecules injected during oviposition to paralyze ...

The Honey Bee [PDF]

Nature, 1891
THE interior economy of the hive is known intimately to every bee-keeper; with the anatomy of its makers, rulers, citizens, not one in a hundred is familiar. The mass of facts accumulated during two centuries of discovery lies for the most part embalmed in the Proceedings of Societies, locked up in costly monographs, untranslated from foreign languages:
