Comparative Proteomics Across Tissues and Crop Agroecosystems Reveals Agricultural Stressor Responses in the Western Honey Bee
Maintaining honey bee health in crop production systems is increasingly difficult because worker bees encounter multiple chemical and biological pressures from pesticides and pathogens. How these field-realistic pressures affect molecular physiology across functionally distinct tissues remains poorly understood. Here, we tested whether tissue-resolved proteomics could separate stable tissue-specific patterns from crop-associated molecular changes.
A year since the varroa mite entered Qld, honey bee colonies have collapsed
Queensland beekeepers paying thousands each month to fend off varroa mites as colonies devastated Thu 4 Jun 2026 at 5:35am In March 2025, the 'varroa destructor' first appeared in Queensland beehives. It is believed the parasitic mite, deadly to European honey bees, was carried over the Scenic Rim from New South Wales, which has been battling varroa since 2022.
Queen cell architecture shapes honey bee queen development
Nature, Published online: 03 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10534-3Worker bee construction behaviour actively engineers a physicochemical niche that is crucial for queen development in honey bees.
Motorists stung after bee truck rollover west of Roma
Angry swarm of bees surrounds hive truck rollover on Warrego Highway west of Roma Wed 3 Jun 2026 at 11:35am A truck carrying honey bees has rolled over in the state's south-west, leaving an angry swarm and destroyed hives. The truck tipped onto its side just after 3:30am on the Warrego Highway at Womalilla, about 120 kilometres west of Roma.

'We were being bullied in our own home': How 'authoritarian' HOAs are contributing to the insect apocalypse
'We were being bullied in our own home': How 'authoritarian' HOAs are contributing to the insect apocalypse In the book "Bitter Honey," writer and researcher Jennie Durant explores how industrial agriculture is destroying bees — and what can be done to stop them. There's an army of tiny workers buzzing around our fields, helping our food grow. But over the past few decades, populations of bees and other insect pollinators have dropped precipitously.
'Not enough' bees for crop pollination as parasite takes over
Crop failure fears as deadly bee parasite wipes out hives and forces beekeepers to quit Thu 4 Jun 2026 at 10:59am In short: A new report has predicted a shortfall of close to 300,000 beehives for this year's peak crop pollination season in August, as the deadly parasite varroa mite wipes out bees. The cost of managing varroa and the development of insecticide resistance is forcing half of Australia's beekeepers to quit. Industry groups and researchers are developing a national strategy to...
Beekeepers call for access to new biopesticide to target varroa mite
Beekeepers call for biopesticide known to target varroa mite to come to Australia Wed 10 Jun 2026 at 3:23pm In short: A new biopesticide to manage the bee-killing varroa mite has been developed. Researchers say it could help battle growing resistance to varroa treatments in Australia. Beekeepers are calling for the government to invest in the new treatment, currently available in the United States, and explore other potential solutions.
Millions of Bees Have Thrived Under a New York Cemetery for More Than a Century
A morning walk through East Lawn Cemetery in Ithaca, New York, uncovered an immense colony of some 5.5 million subterranean bees. The discovery, which a Cornell University research team published in April in the journal Apidologie, documents one of the largest aggregations of these insects ever recorded. The population, belonging to the species Andrena regularis, occupies an area of about 1.25 acres and is crucial for pollination of the region's orchards, demonstrating that historic...
Beekeepers work quickly to save thousands of bees from highway crash
Beekeepers race to save hundreds of beehives after 'confronting' crash Thu 4 Jun 2026 at 12:43pm In short: Beekeepers are working to save thousands of bees after a truck carrying their hives crashed on the Warrego Highway. The truck has not been moved and an exclusion zone is in place around the angry swarms. What's next: The surviving bees are expected to be relocated tonight to ensure their safety.
