Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We live in a changing world where bees are being challenged by climate change, habitat loss, invasive species, pesticides, contaminants and pests, among others. Therefore, research studies and reviews on bee health, bee management practices, and bee pests are welcome for submission to this Special Issue of Insects. Papers that consider novel aspects of bee health and hive management, bee stressors and pests, as well as the impact of these on pollination are welcome. We welcome research papers studying all types of bees, including bumblebees, stingless, and solitary bees.
