Journal ArticleDOI
Bee declines driven by combined stress from parasites, pesticides, and lack of flowers
TL;DR: The stresses bees are experiencing from climate change, infectious diseases, and insecticides are reviewed, with concern that the authors may be nearing a “pollination crisis” in which crop yields begin to fall.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neonicotinoid Residues in Wildflowers, a Potential Route of Chronic Exposure for Bees
Cristina Botías,Arthur David,Julia Horwood,Alaa Abdul-Sada,Elizabeth Nicholls,Elizabeth M. Hill,Dave Goulson +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown that exposure to neonicotinoids is likely to be higher and more prolonged than currently recognized because of widespread contamination of wild plants growing near treated crops.
Journal ArticleDOI
Widespread contamination of wildflower and bee-collected pollen with complex mixtures of neonicotinoids and fungicides commonly applied to crops
Arthur David,Cristina Botías,Alaa Abdul-Sada,Elizabeth Nicholls,Ellen L. Rotheray,Elizabeth M. Hill,Dave Goulson +6 more
TL;DR: Concentrations of neonicotinoid insecticides and fungicides found in pollen collected by honey bees and in pollen and adult bees sampled from bumble bee colonies placed on arable farms are quantified.
Journal ArticleDOI
The contribution of small-scale food production in urban areas to the sustainable development goals: a review and case study
TL;DR: In this article, a case study of urban gardens and allotments in the city of Brighton and Hove, UK is presented, which demonstrates that this type of agricultural system can be highly productive and has environmental and social advantages over industrial agriculture in that crops are usually produced using few synthetic inputs and are destined for local consumption.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of pollen rewards by foraging bees
TL;DR: How pollen impacts on the behaviour and foraging decisions of pollen-collecting bees is explored, drawing comparisons with what is known for nectar rewards, and advancements in the understanding of how bees forage for pollen and respond to variation in pollen quality are reviewed.
