Influence of land use on chlorpyrifos and persistent organic pollutant levels in honey bees, bee bread and honey: Beehive exposure assessment
2020, Science of the Total EnvironmentCitation Excerpt :In this way, the municipal waste disposal could be a secondary source of PBDEs to the environment. Pollen is used by nurse bees to produce jelly to feed larvae, the queen, drones and older workers (Crailsheim et al., 1992; Crailsheim, 1992) and if the pollen is contaminated, these residues could affect almost all of member from the colony, since it is known that the pollen influences the physiological metabolism, immunity (Alaux et al., 2010), tolerance to virus and pathogens (Rinderer et al., 1974) and reducing the sensitivity to pesticides (Wahl and Ulm, 1983). Several biological and physicochemical processes occur when contaminant residues enter the hive (Tremolada et al., 2004).
Physiological and Molecular Mechanisms of Nutrition in Honey Bees
2015, Advances in Insect PhysiologyCitation Excerpt :The health and disease resistance in larval development is highly related to nutrition as well. A diversity of pollens in the diet can strengthen the resistance of larvae to disease (Foley et al., 2012; Rinderer et al., 1974). Several studies showed the importance of different pollen as a nutritional source in brood rearing (DeGrandi-Hoffman et al., 2008; Keller et al., 2005; Loper and Berdel, 1980; Mattila and Otis, 2007).
Risk factors associated with the presence of Varroa destructor in honey bee colonies from east-central Argentina
2014, Preventive Veterinary MedicineCitation Excerpt :This is probably because, as reported here, feeding with natural pollen increases colony size and dilutes mite population since this variable is measured as number of mites per bee. Appropriate amount and quality of pollen are helpful against diverse pathogens (Rinderer and Rothenbuhler, 1974; Rinderer and Elliott, 1977; De Grandi Hoffman et al., 2010). Moreover, lower protein storage capacity in V. destructor-infested bees may explain the severe impact of the mite on honey bees in temperate zones (Amdam et al., 2004).
