Honey bees are pivotal as primary pollinators for a diverse range of crops. Beyond its agricultural significance, honey bees and other pollinators are an essential constituent of the entomofauna, actively contributing to the reproduction of  many wild plant species. It is crucial to emphasise the urgent need for extensive research in bee biology to address the pressing challenges faced by these remarkable insects. If left unaddressed, these environmental challenges could have profound and far-reaching consequences for global food production due to their considerable impact on pollination and food security. Consequently, a deep dive into bee biology forms the cornerstone for acquiring in-depth insights and, ideally, developing effective solutions to safeguard these indispensable pollinators.
