Abstract: BACKGROUND The global decline in Apis mellifera colonies is attributed to multiple factors, including pesticides. The bioinsecticide spinosad was initially recognized as safe for non-target organisms; however, its toxicity has been changing this view. Here,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/afe.12206
Abstract: Africanized honey bees (AHBs) are the predominant flower visitors of many plants in the neotropics, although little evidence is available on their efficiency as pollinators on native crops. Annatto (Bixa orellana) is a buzzâpollinated neotropical… read more here.
