Results of our BES funded pilot project investigating the impact of air quality on honeybee eye structure.
Read moreResults from our BBKA funded study exploring particulate matter in apiaries.
Read moreResearchers detect imidacloprid on bees and in hive products. Although imidacloprid had no impact on colony strength, honey reserves were reduced.
Read moreResearchers in Indiana find integrated pest management to have better outcomes for pollinators than conventional pest management.
Read moreAutumn thymol and tau-fluvalinate treatments were found to have minor effects on bees and bee colony performance.
Read moreSimulations show that microplastic particles produced by road traffic are transported to remote regions.
Read moreThe Centre for Agroecology, Water and Resilience is hosting an open day on Wednesday 28th June 2023, between 10am and 4pm.
Read moreUK field experiments find that diesel exhaust and ozone significantly reduce the abundance of insect pollinators and flower visitation.
Read moreThis year’s theme is “Bee engaged in pollinator-friendly agricultural production”.
Read moreOral exposure to polyethylene found to increase honeybee feeding and mortality.
Read moreHoneybees in a peri-urban area of Italy were found to be contaminated by particulate matter from the soil, traffic and incineration.
Read moreResearchers find that chronic exposure to polystyrene microplastic fragments reduces honeybee feeding rate and body weight.
Read moreResearchers found no mortality in the short term, but there may be lethal long-term effects because the bees did not avoid the microplastics.
Read morePollutants can increase the disease susceptibility of social insects, by impacting their physiology.
Read moreResearchers detect glyphosate in blackberry nectar and pollen in hedgerows surrounding oil-seed rape crops when glyphosate is used as crop desiccant.
Read moreResearchers in the USA find that increased sunflower pollen availability correlated with reduced Varroa mite infestation.
Read moreNew research shows that honeybees can incorporate microplastics from the environment and deliver them into the different matrices of the hive.
Read moreResearchers find that exposure to diesel air pollution affects short- and long-term odour memory in honeybees.
Read moreResearchers in Denmark found microplastics on honeybees collected from apiaries in the centre of Copenhagen and nearby semi-urban and rural areas.
Read moreResearchers have used honey samples from the National Honey Monitoring Scheme to quantify how agricultural intensification affects honeybees.
Read moreHoneybee colonies are currently at their smallest, but with the increasing day length from tomorrow, changes within the colony will begin.
Read moreResearchers in India find heavy metals on Giant Asian honey bees correlated to changes in bee health and behaviour.
Read moreInitial results indicate that honeybees carry microplastics and particles of nylon, as well as fragments of car tyre.
Read moreMicro- and nano-plastics have become emerging pollutants. Researchers assessed the effects of plastic particles on honeybees health.
Read moreOne of our most urban study sites was Tim Vivian’s apiary on the roof of the Custard Factory near Birmingham city centre.
Read moreResearchers explore the link between gut microbes and honeybee behaviour and colony organisation.
Read moreResearchers are working to determine whether Varroa in honeybee colonies can be detected remotely.
Read moreNew research from the University of Exeter explores the motivations underpinning beekeeping management practices.
Read moreWe are currently in the process of analysing the collected honeybees for particulate matter. Find out more about our novel method.
Read moreResearchers in Finland tested honeybee-collected nectar and pollen for over 100 pesticides.
Read moreWe are grateful to the 45 beekeepers who volunteered to take part in Thriving Hive. Find out more about the study apiaries and samples collected.
Read moreNew exhibition ‘Hive Geometrix’ at Upfront Arts Venue in Cumbria captures the magical inner-workings of a honeybee hive.
Read moreNew research reveals the plants most frequently visited by honeybees, bumblebees, solitary bees and hoverflies.
Read moreBangalore is one of the most polluted cities in India and now researchers are looking at whether air pollution could be affecting honey bee population
Read moreA warm welcome to the launch of Thriving Hive! We are delighted to begin this exciting initiative linking beekeepers and scientists to support healthy
