    Honey bee life spans are 50% shorter today than they were 50 years ago - 3 year(s) ago

    A new study by University of Maryland entomologists shows that the lifespan for individual honey bees kept in a controlled, laboratory environment is 50% shorter than it was in the 1970s. As the first study to show an overall decline in honey bee lifespan potentially independent of environmental stressors, this work hints that genetics may be influencing the broader trends of higher colony…

    Novel insecticides are bad news for bee health and their guts - 3 year(s) ago

    Insecticides containing flupyradifurone and sulfoxaflor can have devastating effects on honey bee health. The substances damage the insects’ intestinal flora, especially when used in conjunction with a common fungicide, making them more susceptible to disease and shortening their life span. This was recently proven in a study conducted at the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) and…

    Bee Products: An Emblematic Example of Underutilized Sources of Bioactive Compounds - 4 year(s) ago

    Beside honey, honeybees (Apis mellifera L.) are able to produce many byproducts, including bee pollen, propolis, bee bread, royal jelly, and beeswax. Even if the medicinal properties of these byproducts have been recognized for thousands of years by the ancient civilizations, in the modern era, they have a limited use, essentially as nutritional supplements or health products. However, these…

    Worldwide occurrence records suggest a global decline in bee species richness - 4 year(s) ago

    Wild bees are key to pollination of wild and crop plants, and local and regional reports of their decline are cause for concern. Since there are no global long-term datasets of bee diversity, we analyzed historical occurrence data from collections and observations gathered by the Global Biodiversity Information Facility and found that the number of bee species worldwide has been steadily…

    Global Patterns and Drivers of Bee Distribution - 5 year(s) ago

    A modern, quantitative synthesis on bee distribution and its drivers at a global scale. Orr et al. show that bees exhibit a rare bimodal pattern of higher species richness at mid-latitudes, based on their great success in xeric and some temperate areas, further supported by a driver analysis. Bee species richness is also reprojected worldwide.

      Researchers from Chinese Academy of Sciences and @NUSingapore have created the first #map of global #bee diversity, showing the distribution of nearly 20,000 species. This is an important step in conserving their #biodiversity. Read more in @CurrentBiology https://t.co/oMT43UQkd8 https://t.co/qEB3fU8CR0
