Article Synopsis
- Citizen Science plays a crucial role in biodiversity conservation but has been underutilized in honey bee research, particularly regarding naturally surviving populations.
- In 2018, a multilingual survey was launched that collected data from beekeeping communities, revealing potentially double the number of surviving honey bee colonies than previously documented.
- The success of the survey led to the creation of the Honey Bee Watch platform, enhancing the ability to report and monitor these colonies, thereby strengthening collaboration among scientists, beekeepers, and the general public for improved honey bee conservation efforts.
Background: Autoimmune reactions occur naturally and in most cases are controlled by regulatory mechanisms. However, unwanted autoimmune responses still appear in 5% to 7% of the population, in strikingly greater frequencies in women compared with men. The chronic inflammation characteristic of autoimmune diseases is mainly initiated and maintained by autoreactive CD4(+) T lymphocytes.
