The European honeybee (Apis mellifera) is a key pollinator and has in the last decades suffered significant population decline. A combination of factors, including decrease in genetic diversity and introduction of Varroa mites, have been suggested to be responsible for these losses, but no definitive...

The global decline of insect pollinators has become a serious threat to biodiversity and food security1,2,3,4. Ongoing colony losses of the Western honey bee (Apis mellifera), a model species and key pollinator in many natural and managed ecosystems, are of particular concern5,6,7,8. Threa...
CCD has been devastating the U.S. honey bee population since at least 2006. The mysterious disorder causes honey bees to disappear from their hives, and their bodies are rarely found. Experts have floated several theories for CCD, including disease, parasites, stress, and lack of access to fo...
