The European Union has expanded a number of times throughout its history by way of the accession of new member countries to the Union. Former USSR republic of Georgia and the EU have maintained relations since 1996. The ...

We develop an age-structured hydrodynamic (HD) theory that describes the collective behavior of N≫1 anomalously diffusing particles under stochastic renewal resetting. The theory treats the age of a particle—the time...

Catasetum fimbriatum is a dioecious species whose flowers fully adapted to an euglossinophilic mode of pollination. Euglossini male bees collect the volatile fragrances which are produced in osmophores on the flowers. In...

ABSTRACT In this study, we described the antifungal activity of three Brazilian propolis extracts: brown, green and from jataí bees against Sporothrix brasiliensis. The extracts were obtained from ethanolic extraction a...

ABSTRACT The objective of this work was to evaluate the composition of macro- and microelements in samples of bee honey (Apis mellifera) produced in different floral resources: aroeira (Myracrodruon urundeuva), cissus (C...

Abstract Natural edible waxes mixed with plant oils, containing high levels of unsaturated fatty acids (FAs), are known as oleogels. Oleogels are used for replacing saturated FAs in animal-derived food with unsaturated F...

Honey is one of the oldest sweetening foods and has economic importance, making this product attractive to adulteration with cheap sugars. This can cause a critical problem in the honey industry and a possible health ris...

Pollination is critical for food production and has the particularity of linking natural ecosystems with agricultural production systems. Recently, losses of bumblebee species have been reported worldwide. In this study,...

The floral nectary of Bertholletia excelsa was studied through permanent, histological cross-sections. The flower showed two rings of androecial vascular bundles, the inner for the fertile stamens and the outer for the a...

To ensure the perennity of natural resources, the valorisation process of herbal pharmaceuticals must be assessed for sustainability from the very beginning of its design. No specific tools have been developed for this p...

ABSTRACT Habitat loss and fragmentation caused by deforestation are important anthropogenic drivers of changes in biodiversity in the Amazon rainforest, and has reached its highest rate in recent decades. However, the ma...

Bees visiting flowers of Bertholletia excelsa. (Brazil Nut tree) and Couratari tenuicarpa were collected, their behavior described and the pollen found clinging to their dorsal thorax and stored on their legs was identif...

ABSTRACT Pollen and seed dispersal patterns greatly influence the spatial distribution of plant genetic diversity. Microsatellite-based parentage analysis provides accurate estimates of contemporary gene dispersal. Altho...

Honey possesses unique properties, characterized by its high sugar concentration and the synergistic interaction among nectar, pollen, bees, and yeasts. These features render it an exceptional substrate for exploring mic...

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Propolis is a natural resinous substance produced by bees, recognized for its antioxidant and anti‐inflammatory properties. Previous clinical trials have reported inconsistent results regar...

El glifosato es el producto herbicida más utilizado en la actualidad. Si bien su uso es mayormente agrícola, una proporción puede ingresar al interior de las colmenas de Apis mellifera, lo que implica un riesgo toxico...

Abstract A field study of the floral biology of two species of Nymphaea (Nymphaeaceae) wp.s made. N. rudgeana G.F.W. Meyer, a night flowering species, was studied around Manaus and Belém. It is visited by the scarab bee...

In the period up to the end of the Second World War, 21 women in the Netherlands completed an academic architectural course. Five of these women married a fellow architect and conducted a joint architectural practice wit...

In the context of widespread honey bee colony collapse, the search for highly effective tools for honey bee conservation is a pressing issue. The aim of the research was to develop a scheme for the application of formic ...

Abstract Background In tropical South America, Ceiba pentandra (Malvaceae) is a native chiropterophilous tree frequently found in cities that stands out as a potential substantial floral resource for synanthropic bats, w...

Produced by a stingless bee (Tetragonula biroi) from Sulawesi Island, propolis is an active compound that requires further studies to determine its herbal-based medicinal applications. In addition, propolis is well known...

Approximately 85% of the global forest estate is neither formally protected nor in areas dedicated to intensive wood production (e.g., plantations). Given the spatial extent of unprotected forests, finding management app...
