However, their populations are increasingly threatened by multiple stressors, and pesticide exposure, especially from agricultural insecticides and in-hive acaricides, has become a major concern due to its potentially low lethal and synergistic effects on bee health. This study investigates the potential synergistic effects of two organophosphate insecticides, dimethoate and chlorpyrifos, when combined with amitraz, a widely used acaricide for Varroa destructor control. Acute oral toxicity assays revealed that dimethoate exhibited the highest toxicity (LC₅0 = 2.6 ppm), followed by chlorpyrifos (56.3 ppm) and amitraz (432.3 ppm). Co-exposure to organophosphates and amitraz significantly reduced survival compared to single-compound treatments, with the most pronounced effect observed in the A10D30 treatment group. To understand the underlying physiological effects, we analyzed the expression of key detoxification (Am-CYP1, Am-CYP2, Am-CYP3, Am-GST) and oxidative stress-related genes (Am-Cat, Am-SOD), as well as Am-Vg. Vitellogenin expression was significantly suppressed at 24 h post-exposure (F = 19.271, p < 0.001), particularly under mixture treatments, while stress-response genes (Am-Cat and Am-SOD) were consistently downregulated. In contrast, co-exposure induced significant upregulation of detoxification-related genes, including Am-CYP2, Am-CYP3, and Am-GST (p < 0.01 in several treatments). These findings highlight the compounded risk posed by pesticide mixtures and emphasize the importance of conducting integrative risk assessments that consider realistic, multi-chemical exposure scenarios encountered by foraging bees.</div>","PeriodicalId":8078,"journal":{"name":"Apidologie","volume":"57 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s13592-026-01285-1.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148380910","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Early work demonstrated effects on behaviors such as hoarding and learning, while more recent studies report impacts on neuromodulators, memory consolidation, and locomotion. Although often nonlethal, these effects can alter physiology and behavior in ways relevant to experimental outcomes. Despite calls for greater methodological transparency, reporting of cooling protocols remains inconsistent. A review of historical and recent literature shows that although cold anesthesia is nearly ubiquitous, duration, temperature, and handling details are frequently omitted in published methods, precluding replication and complicating interpretation. While some studies indicate recovery within an hour after cooling, insect physiology research highlights risks of neural or muscular injury. Taken together, these findings suggest that anesthetic handling may be an underappreciated source of variation in contemporary studies of honey bee cognition and behavior.</div>","PeriodicalId":8078,"journal":{"name":"Apidologie","volume":"57 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13320092/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148374325","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite the invasiveness of SHB, its origin remained unexplored, and little is known about its distribution and effects on the bee colonies. The present study summarizes a possible single introduction event of SHB to India from Bangladesh and its occurrence and spread to other Indian states of Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, and Jharkhand. Initial infestation was noted in Muzaffarpur district, Bihar, in October 2023, with subsequent spread to neighboring states. A total of 4, 575 bee colonies were surveyed, of which 1119 Apis mellifera L. and 16 A. cerana F. colonies were infested. Bihar had a significantly higher infestation rate than Jharkhand and Uttar Pradesh. The phylogenetic analysis revealed that the SHB from India clustered within a single sub-clade, indicating the absence of genetic variation. Both adults and grubs significantly weakened the colonies by reducing the bee population. The severity of infestation mostly occurred from July to November. Migratory beekeeping was identified as a major factor in SHB spread, with seasonal movements across Bihar and neighboring states accelerating its spread. Beekeepers employed various control measures, including sulfur, thymol, boric acid and cultural practices like hive cleaning, which reduced beetle numbers but did not achieve eradication. This highlights the urgent need for systematic monitoring and regulation of migratory beekeeping, along with the development of integrated management strategies to prevent further spread.</div>","PeriodicalId":8078,"journal":{"name":"Apidologie","volume":"57 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148380799","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A few studies have examined how their selection of pollen resources changes with varying degrees of habitat disturbance in forest environments. The pollen species composition of honey and stored pollen pots from managed hives of Tetragonisca angustula and Melipona costaricensis was monthly recorded over 15 months. Hives were located in three vegetation covers: secondary forests, fallows, and crop fields. Additionally, pollen from corbicula loads was also sampled during three distinct periods. For both bee species, colonies located in crop fields yielded the fewest samples for palynological analysis and exhibited the lowest proportion of pollen from arboreal sources. Each bee species demonstrated differentiated pollen selection among the monthly available flowers. The highest abundance of palynomorphs selected by M. costaricensis came from nectar and pollen-producing tree genera, such as Miconia, Vochysia, Cupania, Clethra, and Myrcia, as well as the herb, Mimosa pudica. This contrasts with the selection made by T. angustula, which primarily derives from pollen-producing flowers of arboreal, shrubby, and herbaceous species, including Pourouma, Phyllanthus, Hedyosmum, Rhynchospora, and Scleria. Consistent selection for nectar- and pollen-rewarding tree flowers by M. costaricensis suggests a more specialized diet than T. angustula, indicating greater vulnerability of M. costaricensis colonies to small-scale forest ecosystem degradation.\u0000</div>","PeriodicalId":8078,"journal":{"name":"Apidologie","volume":"57 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s13592-026-01253-9.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148323853","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
