Biotic and abiotic stresses on honeybee health

Integrative Zoology, Volume 19, Issue 3, Page 442-457, May 2024.
The globally distributed honeybees are subject to various interacting biotic (brown background) and abiotic (green background) stressors, during foraging and nesting, taking into consideration the sensitivity, large foraging area, dense network among related nestmates, and social behaviors. Abstract Honeybees are the most critical pollinators providing
