Machine Learning and Geospatial Modeling of Climate Change Impacts on Ethiopian Honeybees for Conservation and Resilient Agriculture

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
The current study used machine learning and geospatial analysis to predict how climate change will loosen and fragment suitable habitats for Ethiopian honeybees. Main factors like agro‐ecological zones and dry‐season precipitation were found to be critical for bee survival.

Purification and characterization of proteins in multifloral honey from kelulut bee (stingless bee) [PDF]

Heliyon, 2019
The kelulut bee (Meliponini) is a subfamily of stingless bees that produce honey. A total of 89 species out of a total of 500 species of kelulut bees are known to originate from the Indo-Australian region. Kelulut bees do not have quality standards so they still refer to the Codex and EU Directive which basically only applied for Apis honey.

Microbial Pressure and Social Immunity: Bumble Bees Increase Brood Hygiene After Exposure to a Bacillus thuringiensis‐Based Biopesticide

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
In social insect colonies, diseased or dead brood is identified and removed by workers to prevent the infection of the whole colony. Here, bumble bee larvae exposed to a bacterium (Bacillus thuringiensis ssp. aizawai (strain: ABTS‐1857)) based biopesticide were removed more frequently than wounded or untreated control larvae. This shows that bumble bee

An insight into the antibiofilm properties of Costa Rican stingless bee honeys [PDF]

Journal of Wound Care, 2017
Objective: There is an increasing search for antibiofilm agents that either have specific activity against biofilms or may act in synergy with antimicrobials. Our objective is to examine the the antibiofilm properties of stingless bee honeys. Method: Meliponini honeys from Costa Rica were examined along with Medihoney as a reference.

Toxicological assessments of agrochemical effects on stingless bees (Apidae, Meliponini)

MethodsX, 2020
Bee pollination is crucial for ecosystem maintenance and crop production. The ubiquity of bee pollinators in agricultural landscapes frequently results in their exposure to agrochemicals, which has been associated with their decline.

Pollen Exposed to Aerial Pesticide Spray Is a Major Exposure Pathway for Stingless Bees

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
We conducted a molecular ecology experiment to determine foraging of stingless bees and potential exposure routes for aerially applied pesticides. We found that 27% of forager bees brought back Bti to the hive, and that this is a major route for pesticide exposure.

Communication in the honey bees and stingless bees

, 2023
The social structure of a bee colony, in which thousands of individuals interact, is partly based on communication between bees. It is involved in controlling many primary needs such as nutrition, reproduction and even defense. Means of communication between bees differ according to species and tribes. Honey bees are able to emit pheromones which allow

Detection of Microplastics in Honey of Stingless Bee (Heterotrigona Itama) and Honey Bee (Apis Mellifera) from Malaysia

Biodiversitas Journal of Biological Diversity, 2023
Abstract. Ibrahim YS, Rosazan MN, Mamat MII, Anuar ST, Azmi WA. 2025. Detection of microplastics in honey of stingless bee (Heterotrigona itama) and honey bee (Apis mellifera) from Malaysia. Biodiversitas 26: 1271-1278. The demand for stingless bee honey and European bee honey has increased rapidly due to its medicinal benefits.

No evidence for missed mutualists in an invasive plant with the buzz pollination syndrome

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract The missed mutualist hypothesis predicts that the absence of mutualistic partners poses a barrier to introduced species becoming invasive. Yet, some alien plants thrive despite potential dependence on certain pollinators. For example, buzz‐pollinated plants typically have specialist floral morphologies and benefit from buzz pollinator behavior

Honey as a Natural Flavorful Product: A Comprehensive Review of Its Potential Biological Activities and Recent Studies

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
Health impacts of honey. ABSTRACT Honey is a natural and nutritious product of the honey bee (Apis mellifera) with low water content. Its color ranges from white to amber, with taste varying accordingly. The chemical form and viscosity of honey depend on its composition.
