Agricultural intensification impairs behavioral abilities and the expression of genes associated with social responsiveness in honeybees

Macri, Ivana Noelia; Moja, Pablo Joaquín; Latorre Estivalis, Jose M.; Cristos, Diego Sebastian; Zavala, Jorge Alberto; Farina, Walter Marcelo (Cell Press, 2024-08-12)

The honeybee Apis mellifera is one of the main pollinators in agroecosystems, and, consequently, its colonies are exposed to agrochemicals and more fragmented and homogeneous habitats. As a social insect, this could lead ...
Evaluating the Impact of Post-Emergence Weed Control in Honeybee Colonies Located in Different Agricultural Surroundings

Macri, Ivana Noelia; Vásquez, Diego E.; Pagano, Eduardo A.; Zavala, Jorge A.; Farina, Walter M. (MDPI, 2021-02)

The honeybee Apis mellifera is exposed to agricultural intensification, which leads to an improved reliance upon pesticide use and the reduction of floral diversity. In the present study, we assess the changes in the colony ...
Managed honeybees and South American bumblebees exhibit complementary foraging patterns in highbush blueberry

Estravis‑Barcala, María Cecilia; Palottini, Florencia; Macri, Ivana Noelia; Nery, Denise; Farina, Walter M. (Nature Publishing Group, 2021-04)

Despite Apis mellifera being the most widely managed pollinator to enhance crop production, they are not the most suitable species for highbush blueberries, which possess restrictive floral morphology and require ...
