Apis mellifera workers

The ingestion of the fungicide in the larval stage can impair the bee development and the health and performance of the colony. In this perspective, studies that consider the effects of fungicides in the different stages of bee development are crucial for a better interpretation of the risks of exposure.

The aim of this study was to compare the biological characteristics of newly introduced Apis mellifera bees with those previously introduced in 1960. New introduced Apis mellifera bees showed low inbreeding percentage and high honey productivity. However, they exhibited high disease infections and low egg-laying capacity of queens, consequently, resulting in low worker population.
