Landscape composition and climate shape pathogen infection risk in honey bee colonies

2025-12-10

Abstract excerpt

Honey bees (Apis mellifera) are key pollinators in agricultural and natural ecosystems that face increasing pressure from pathogens and environmental change. However, the effects of these pressures are still not fully understood. To assess how climate and landscape composition shape infection risks in real agroecosystems, we monitored honeybee colonies across 30 apiaries in southern Italy over two years, in summer...
