DOI: 10.1007/s004420100803
Abstract: Many bumblebee species are declining at a rapid rate in the United Kingdom and elsewhere. This is commonly attributed to the decline in floral resources that has resulted from an intensification in farming practices. Here… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s43188-020-00065-y
Abstract: Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) have been used to diminish the deleterious effects associated with aging by preventing the destruction of cartilage, bone, discs, and skin. The objective of this study was to evaluate the anti-aging effect of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/age.12874
Abstract: The bumblebee, Bombus terrestris, is an important pollinator commercially used on a global scale. The exported subspecies B. t. terrestris has colonised diverse environments, in some cases displacing wild pollinators to the verge of local extinction. In… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2023.1034584
Abstract: Bumblebees are important pollinators of plants worldwide and they are kept for commercial pollination. By studying the process of oogenesis, we can understand their ontogenetic developmental strategy and reproduction. We describe the anatomy of the… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/ijms24065384
Abstract: Pesticides pose a potential threat to bee health, especially in combination with other stressors, such as parasites. However, pesticide risk assessment tests pesticides in isolation from other stresses, i.e., on otherwise healthy bees. Through molecular… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/toxics11030279
Abstract: Pesticide exposure has been cited as a key threat to insect pollinators. Notably, a diverse range of potential sublethal effects have been reported in bee species, with a particular focus on effects due to exposure… read more here.
