• Abstract

  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 …

• Abstract

  The honey bee Apis mellifera L. provides pollination services for diverse crop plants, and these services are at risk due to exposure of bees to environmental chemicals. Forager honey bees collect nectar and pollen from flowers to sustain the colony and support healthy brood development; thus pesticides in the environment could potentially be transmitted to the hive through pollen and nec…

• Abstract

  Neem oil is a bioinsecticide obtained from the Indian neem (Azadirachta indica A. Juss) and it is widely used in organic agriculture and home gardens. Its active principle, Azadiractina, is efficient in controlling target species; however it presents lethal and sublethal effects against non-target insects due to its actions in different systems and organs during development, as well as re…

• Abstract

  It is known that the population density of bees, as well as other pollinators, has been declining for some years, reaching worrying levels that would affect the pollination of natural and agricultural ecosystems. One of the determining factors for this situation is the use of pesticides such as herbicides, fungicides and insecticides, which used both in isolation and in combinations, ofte…

• Abstract

  Bees are important pollinators of plants because they need nectar and pollen from flowers to complete their life cycle. The Africanized honeybee (Apis mellifera) is the best-known managed species in Brazil and one of the most important species for pollination of many agricultural crops. Due to the worldwide decline in bee populations over the years, which is attributed to a number of fact…
