Organic farming and annual flower strips reduce parasite prevalence in honeybees and boost colony growth in agricultural landscapes
In Journal of Applied Ecology – Despite the major role that insect pollinators play in crop production, agricultural intensification drives them into decline. Various conservation measures have been developed to mitigate the negative effects of agriculture on insect pollinators. In a novel comparison of the efficacy of three conservation measures on honeybee colony growth, we […]
