BACKGROUND: Evidence about the health effects of ultrafine particles (UFPs) remains limited, especially due to challenges in estimating exposure in epidemiological studies.
Honey bees (Apis mellifera) play an important role in our agricultural systems. In recent years, beekeepers have reported high colony mortality rates in several parts of the world. Inadequate foraging landscapes are often cited as a major factor dete...
