Wild bee populations are declining due to human activities, such as land use change, which
strongly affect the composition and diversity of available plants and food sources. The …

Bees are essential pollinators of many crops and wild plants, and pesticide exposure is one
of the key environmental stressors affecting their health in anthropogenically modified …

Sulfoximines, the next generation systemic insecticides developed to replace
neonicotinoids, have been shown to negatively impact pollinator development and …

Sustainable agriculture relies on pollinators, and wild bees benefit yield of multiple crops.
However, the combined exposure to pesticides and loss of flower resources, driven by …

A reduction in floral resource abundance and diversity is generally observed in agro-
ecosystems, along with widespread exposure to pesticides. Therefore, a better …

The pervasiveness of human imprint on Earth is alarming and most animal species,
including bees (Hymenoptera: Apoidea: Anthophila), must cope with several stressors …

Abstract The European Commission asked EFSA to revise the risk assessment for honey
bees, bumble bees and solitary bees. This guidance document describes how to perform …

Abstract Development of urban agglomerations and the intensification of agriculture
profoundly affect bees' food resources, hence ecosystem services such as pollination. A …

We investigated nutrition as a potential mechanism underlying the link between floral
diversity/composition and wild bee performance. The health, resilience, and fitness of bees …

Ecosystem services such as pollination and biocontrol may be severely affected by
emerging nano/micro-plastics (NMP) pollution. Here, we synthesize the little-known effects …
