Our recent study on landscape-scale coordinated Varroa control suggest there are benefits for colony health. I know it makes sense, but how many actually do it?

It is important to fill all knowledge gaps: lack of data on toxicokinetic and toxicity of HMF in #bees, refinement of consumption data. A concentration of HMF of no health concern for bees should be established in bee feed

This is a promising scientific work that paves the way for new methodologies that assess long term effects on #bees and consider other stressors than pesticides.

Studies suggest that high levels of HMF in feed for #HoneyBees can be lethal for bees. Our experts identified a health concern for #bees that are exposed over several months to HMF contaminated feed

But what is HMF? It is a compound naturally formed by the degradation of simple sugars, especially fructose. It occurs in #food and feed containing carbohydrates, e.g. in sugars used to feed #HoneyBees in winter

Our scientists have evaluated the risks to #HoneyBee health related to the presence of hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) in #feed
