Scientists Have a New Plan to Save the Honeybees
Researchers at the University of Oxford have created a new "superfood" designed to help honeybees survive amid environmental pressures like habitat loss and changing climate. The supplement, developed after 15 years of study, contains the six sterols—special lipids essential to bee development—that bees typically obtain from pollen and...
Scientists developed a “superfood” for honeybees that could protect these insects from the threats of climate change and habitat loss. Colonies of bees that consumed the supplement during testing had as much as 15 times more bee pups that came to adults. Melifer bees are a vital part of food production and contribute to pollinating 70% of the world’s major crops. “This technological breakthrough provides bees with all the nutrients they need to …
The results showed that colonies fed this food had up to 15 times more bee pups reaching adulthood.
Do Exophytic Microbes Impact Pollen Growth in Camellia?
Researchers have made significant strides in the understanding of the interaction between exophytic microorganisms and pollen behavior, particularly focusing on the ancient tea plant, Camellia sinensis. This research, led by Toksoz, Cetinbas-Genc, and Berber, delves into the cellular and molecular consequences that these microorganisms bestow upon in vitro pollen germination and subsequent pollen tube growth.
