Losses, Health and Wellbeing of Honey Bees Across the World

Dear Colleagues,

Following the earlier successful Special Issue "Losses of Honey Bee Colonies across the World", and in view of the importance of this topic and the continuing interest and research in this area, we are pleased to launch a second Special Issue, on “Losses, Health and Wellbeing of Honey Bees Across the World”. We welcome further high-quality articles on any aspect of honey bee wellbeing, including, for example, national, regional and international colony losses, colony monitoring generally, modelling of survival, results of surveys, risk factors, established and emerging threats and their control, effects of environment and climate, survival of feral colonies, resistance to pests and disease, management, conservation and sustainability. Observational studies, laboratory studies and field studies could all be relevant.

Colleagues are warmly invited to submit original research, reviews and other suitable types of articles within the scope of this Special Issue.

Dr. Alison Gray
Guest Editor
