Abstract | In recent years honeybees, Apis mellifera, have been undergoing a global decline, which in the USA has been attributed to Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD), whilst across Europe there have been abnormally high winter losses. It is likely that these losses are a result of multiple stresses resulting from a combination of infectious agents and other stress factors, rather than from a single cause (1). Much effort has been invested in better understanding the relative contributions of pathogens, parasites and insecticides; however in comparison, the role of air pollutants has received far less attention. |
