Wutou decoction is an ancient compound preparation composed of five herbal medicines, which has good therapeutic effects on rheumatoid arthritis. There are two classic preparation methods of Wutou decoction using honey and water as decocting excipients, respectively. However, the differences of chemical compositions between these two Wutou decoctions yet remain unclear.

Beekeeping is an exceptionally weather-sensitive agricultural field. Honey production and pollination services depend on the complex interaction of plants and bees, both of which are impacted by short-term weather changes. In this review, classical and recent research is collected to provide an overview on short-term atmospheric factors influencing honey production, and the optimal and critical weather conditions for bee activity.

Background: The Western honey bee, Apis mellifera, is an economically important pollinator, as well as a tractable species for studying the behavioral intricacies of eusociality. Honey bees are currently being challenged by multiple biotic and environmental stressors, many of which act concomitantly to affect colony health and productivity. For instance, developmental stress can lead workers to become precocious foragers and to leave the hive prematurely.

Article Synopsis
- Recent research contradicts earlier beliefs that glyphosate-based products like Roundup Transorb R® (RT) are safe for bees, showing they can be toxic and increase mortality or cause sublethal effects.
- The study evaluated the toxicity of RT on Africanized honey bees through both acute and chronic exposure experiments, focusing on impacts on mortality, flight capacity, and midgut tissue damage.
- Findings indicate that chronic oral exposure can lead to higher mortality rates and damage to the midgut, while acute exposure negatively affected the bees' walking ability, suggesting significant harm from RT on A. mellifera.
Insecticide exposure alters flight-dependent gene-expression in honey bees, Apis mellifera.

The increased reports of wild bee declines and annual losses of managed bees pose a significant threat to biodiversity and agricultural productivity. While these losses and declines are likely driven by various factors, the exposure of bees to agrochemicals has raised significant concern due to their ubiquitous use and potential adverse effects. Despite numerous studies suggesting neonicotinoids can negatively affect bees at the behavioral and molecular level, data linking these two factors remains sparse.
