The antibiotic cocktail produced by bacteria did not change very much over the course of its evolution and its antipathogenic effect remained unaltered

"The bees are not only not avoiding this fungicide, they're consuming more of it at certain concentrations," researcher says

Sharing of genetic survival skills to blame

The three most widely used neonicotinoid pesticides for flowering crops pose no risk to honeybee colonies when used correctly as seed treatments, according to new studies by University of Guelph researchers

Researchers at Michigan State University's entomology department have unlocked a key to maintain an insecticide's effectiveness in eliminating pests without killing beneficial bugs

Researchers find that field-realistic doses of a neonicotinoid pesticide affects the behavior of bees—ultimately interfering with the type of vibrations they produce while collecting pollen

Research from a team of FSU scientists helps explain link between climate change and declining bumble bee populations

Honey bees are critical to agriculture as they pollinate approximately 35 per cent of the global food crop, contributing an estimated $4.39 billion per year to the Canadian economy

Study shows how farmers could use the technology to monitor pollination and increase food production

Annual losses improved over last year; winter losses lowest in survey history
