Bees play a key role in pollinating services in natural ecosystems and agroecosystems. However, this indispensable service is due primarily to deforestation, fragmentation of habitat and loss of natural areas, which are replaced by urban centers, Agriculture and Livestock. In addition, subsequent activities related to Agriculture in the conventional system, such as the indiscriminate and …
The Institute for Investigation in Immunology, iii, initially a Millenium Institute created in 2001, studies infectious diseases, HIV/AIDS, allergy, autoimmune diseases, transplantation and primary immunodeficiency. These diseases have strong immunological components, and are health problems that affect millions in our country and throughout the world. Besides the social and economic rele…
According to IBGE (2010), the sugar cane is the first national agricultural product considering the amount produced, and it is the predominant crop in Sao Paulo state. The indiscriminate use of insecticides and other xenobiotic substances in this culture is an issue of great concern, since their effects are caused both financial and environmental losses, primarily related to non-target or…

Bees are essential pollinators for the balance of natural ecosystems, relevant for agricultural production and with high pharmaceutical potential, playing an indispensable role biodiversity and world economy. However, anthropic actions have threatened the survival of these important pollinating insects, especially the use of pesticides, which is increasingly present in crops of commercial…
Oral acute toxicity of insecticides formulated with two active ingredients on the bee Melipona scutellaris Latreille (Apidae: Meliponini)Pollination mediated by native bees is an essential ecosystem service for the agroecosystem and has gained a lot of repercussions from scientific researchers, due to the high added value in the quality of food and the resources produced. However, the int…
Bees represent a highly diverse group, more than 20,000 species are described worldwide. In addition, they are considered one of the main pollinating insects in natural ecosystems or agricultural cultures, thus they are responsible for the maintenance of diverse ecosystems and for the realization of ecosystem services very important for humanity. Despite this, in recent years there has be…

Despite the greater representation of solitary bees among the diversity of bees, little is known about the effect of biotic and abiotic factors on their populations. Pesticides and pathogens can interact in the environment and contribute to the decline of the bee populations. For solitary bees, exposure to pesticides may be higher than for honeybees, and currently, studies indicate that N…
Eucalyptus plantations, mainly used for paper production, occupy a large part of the territory in Portugal. However, many beekeepers keep nests in or near the plantations for honey production, but this practice may pose risks to the colonies that forage in this area, once eucalyptus plantations are highly susceptible to different pests and pesticides are used in their control. In this con…
Evidence based knowledge on pesticide-effects on pollinators, such as honey bees, has become mandatory in many countries. It is important to establish lines of action approved internationally to provide farmers and policy-makers more information about the applications of pest management programs. The investigation of interference of xenobiotics, like thiamethoxam, on regulation of alterna…
