The aim of this study was to evaluate whether alterations in food availability compromise the metabolic homeostasis honey bees exposed three fungicides alone or together. Ten bee colonies were used, with half receiving carbohydrate-protein supplementation for 15 weeks while another five had their protein supply reduced pollen traps. Subsequently, forager collected and by contact 1 7 µg bixafen, prothioconazole, trifloxystrobin, either individually combination. After 48 h, abdomens without...
Abstract Bees can be exposed to pesticides when visiting crops or plants in adjacent areas affected by spray drift. Among pesticide categories, fungicides tend considered relatively safe, though they also negatively affect pollinators. Most evidence of damage bees comes from laboratory tests; there is little information concerning contamination levels the field. We examined exposure honey ( Apis mellifera L.) (Hymenoptera: Apidae) and a common Brazilian native species social stingless...
The aim of this study was to evaluate whether alterations in food availability compromise the metabolic homeostasis honey bees exposed three fungicides alone or together. Ten bee colonies were utilized, with half receiving energy-protein supplementation for 15 weeks while another five had their protein supply reduced pollen traps. Subsequently, forager collected and by contact 1 7 µg bixafen, prothioconazole, trifloxystrobin, either individually combination. After 48 hours,...
<title>Abstract</title> There is increasing evidence that besides insecticides, fungicides also affect bee health. However, there has been little research on how bees are affected by recently developed modern contain various active ingredients to help overcome fungal pathogen resistance. Experiments were conducted determine this type of fungicide affects and whether annutritional supplements can ameliorate eventual negative impacts for bees. Newly-emerged from well fed nutritionally...
