Study finds that blue orchard bee reproduction dropped nearly 60% when exposed to pesticides and when food is scarce. (Clara Stuligross/UC Davis) The loss of flowering plants and the widespread use of ...

(Beyond Pesticides, April 25, 2025) A novel study in Chemosphere finds impacts on male fertility in a bee species (Osmia bicornis) with exposure to sulfoxaflor, a systemic sulfoximine insecticide with ...

While a beekeeper puffing clouds of carbon dioxide into a hive to calm the insects is a familiar image to many, less is known about its other effects on bees. A recent study revealed clues about how ...

With the warm weather, bees are finally getting the chance to pollinate. This is something farms have been waiting for weeks to do. Beekeepers say those weeks of missed pollination could have some ...
