Insect and Pesticide Research
Description: This cluster of papers focuses on the impact of neonicotinoid insecticides, Varroa mites, viral pathogens, and pesticide exposure on honey bee health, including colony collapse disorder. It also explores the role of gut microbiota, immune system, and pollen nutrition in honey bee health. The environmental risks associated with pesticide use are also a key area of investigation.
