Determination of pesticide residues in honey bees, pollen and beeswax: assessing pesticide hazard in spanish apiaries

Pollinator decline is an emerging worldwide problem with serious repercussions on agriculture and environment.

Honey bee is the main pollinator in environments where anthropogenic pressure has reduced the number of native pollinators, like urban, rural and agricultural areas. The main cause of beekeeping crisis is parasite Varroa destructor and secondary infections associated with the mite. Pesticide contamination and nutritional deficiencies, combined with the parasite, can act synergistically and reduce survival of bee colonies. Honey bees patrol extensive areas when …
