(Elsevier, 2019)
Diabetes represents one of the major health concerns, especially in developed countries. Some hormones such as
the stress hormone adrenaline can induce reactive oxygen species (ROS) and may worsen the diabetes.
Therefore, ...
Loss rates of honey bee colonies during winter 2017/18 in 36 countries participating in the COLOSS survey, including effects of forage sources
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2019)
This short article presents loss rates of honey bee colonies over winter 2017/18 from 36 countries, including 33 in Europe, from data collected using the standardized COLOSS questionnaire. The 25,363 beekeepers supplying ...
Occurrence of honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) pathogens in commercial and traditional hives
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2019)
