Article Synopsis
- Some harmful substances, like pesticides and heavy metals, can be bad for honey bees.
- This study looked at how a heavy metal called chromium and two chemicals (a pesticide and a fungicide) affect honey bees.
- The results showed that chromium doesn't seem to make honey bees die more when mixed with the other chemicals, and it may even help a little bit when combined with one of them.
In Italy a nation-wide monitoring network was established in 2009 in response to significant honey bee colony mortality reported during 2008. The network comprised of approximately 100 apiaries located across Italy. Colonies were sampled four times per year, in order to assess the health status and to collect samples for pathogen, chemical and pollen analyses.
