The pesticides use is a determining factor in the survival of bees, which can become contaminated through the ingestion of contaminated resources or direct contact. These forms of contamination are often acute, and even if contaminated food stores occur inside the nest, this can affect physiological and behavioral functions in the long term. However, the product that remains in the beehiv…
In recent years, honey bees population decline has been observed, impacting wild and managed colonies for production and pollination services. One of the probable causes of this decline is related to the indiscriminate use of agrochemicals and the consequent exposure of bees to these molecules, which may affect the maintenance and survival of the colony. Although the LD50 values are impor…
Apis mellifera larval nutrition plays a fundamental role, directly influence its development as promoting a change in hormonal profile and integrity of queen's ovary. Minerals, such as zinc (Zn) shows, fundamental importance in structural and functional components of animals. However, the source of this mineral offered for animal nutrition may interfere with its bioavailability, promoting…

Studiesshow that in recent years it has become increasingly common tofind pesticide residues in bee products, especially in the wax. Exposure of bees tothese substances can cause adverse effects on their health, damaging their morphology, physiology, memory and learning, as well asdecreasing their longevity and promoting changes in the bees'intestinal microbiota. The aim of this is the e…
The extensive use of pesticides has been identified as a crucial factor in bee mortality, which can become contaminated through ingestion as well as direct or indirect contact with the active ingredient. Generally, these forms of contamination result in significant effects on bees, potentially leading to immediate mortality or affecting their development, physiological functions, and beha…
The indiscriminate use of pesticides has been negatively affecting bees and their pollination services. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out studies on the pesticides widely used in Brazil, in order to evaluate possible damages caused to Africanized Apis mellifera honeybee. The present work aims to evaluate the toxicity of three different classes of pesticides in changing the genes exp…
The present research aims to evaluate the effect of the herbicide glyphosate on the expression of genes of the antioxidant system of Africanized A. mellifera bees in the forager phase, by ingestion test with a lethal dose (LD50 273.93 µg / bee). For this, the newly emerged bees from ten different colonies will be marked in the pronotum region and returned as their colonies; after 21 days,…
The use of pesticides has been identified as one of the factors responsible for behavioral changes and the disappearance of Apis mellifera bees around the world, causing great damage to commercial apiaries and pollination services, both in native areas and in crops of commercial interest. Glyphosate is one of the most widely used herbicides worldwide, acting on enzymatic activity and inhi…

Apis mellifera is an ancient insect, which has had association with humans for a long time. In Brazil, European subspecies were brought two centuries ago. These subspecies predominated in Brazil until 1956, when African bees (Apis mellifera scutellata) were introduced. After this period in all national territory, Africanized honeybees have been found with some differences in behavior (hyg…
The goal of the present research is to learn new laboratory techniques and correlate them with the development of the current project "Effect of diets with different protein levels on the longevity of Apis mellifera bees exposed by ingestion the sublethal dose of Glyphosate herbicide", FAPESP process 2017/19035-0. During the internship, the techniques used for the analysis of Phenolic/Pol…
Pollen is considered as the major source of essential nutrients for Apis mellifera honeybees development, because it composition of protein, vitamins, minerals, among others. Quantity and quality of consumed pollen are directly responsible for worker bees hypopharyngeal glands development. However, each pollen type has a specific nutritional support, which could influence colony nutrition…
