Therapeutic Properties of Stingless Bee Honey in Comparison with European Bee Honey
Both honeybees (Apis spp.) and stingless bees (Trigona spp.) produce honeys with high nutritional and therapeutics value. Until recently, the information regarding potential health benefits of stingless bee honey (SBH) in medical databases is still scarce as compared to the common European bee honey (EBH) which is well known for their properties as ...

Immune priming of honey bees protects against a major microsporidian pathogen
We immune‐primed honey bees at two developmental stages in the laboratory and the field with heat‐killed Nosema ceranae spores. When subsequently fed live spores, immune‐primed adults had lower infection levels. Abstract BACKGROUND Honey bees face significant threats from pathogens like Nosema ceranae, a microsporidian parasite that contributes to ...

Pathogenicity of
Although few honey bee diseases are known to be caused by bacteria, pathogens of adult worker bees may be underrecognized due to social immunity mechanisms. Specifically, infected adult bees typically abandon the hive or are removed by guards.

Pesticide use in integrated pest and pollinator management framework to protect pollinator health
Integrated pest management (IPM) emphasizes non‐chemical methods, with pesticides as a last resort, while integrated pest and pollinator management (IPPM) integrates pollinator health into pest control strategies. Abstract Agricultural pesticides have historically been a critical tool in controlling pests and diseases, preventing widespread suffering ...

The predatory effect of the honey‐buzzard affects the reproductive performance of Asian‐hornet colonies, decreasing the density of workers over distance and time. The foraging distances of the honey‐buzzard concentrates within the first 2000 m from nest, which supports the results observed.
