Latest research
The results of our study suggest that the changes in climate have favoured overwintering honeybees, which are producing a new generation of bees. These changes, due to the earlier start of spring honey collecting, resulted in a timely food supply and have had a positive impact on the strengthening of colonies. The trends found have shown that the new generation of spring worker bees has a better chance of collecting nectar from a larger number of flowering entomophilous plants.
