The ubiquity of the European honey bee has led to complacency over the need for pollinator conservation in Australia. Yet, globally, honey bee colonies are in severe regional decline due to multiple stressors, including intensive management, widespread pesticide use, and pests and pathogens that spread easily through stressed colonies. Relying on a single pollinator species poses a significant risk for food production. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Austral Ecology, 44(6), p. 1098-1100 | Publisher: | Wiley-Blackwell Publishing Asia | Place of Publication: | Australia | ISSN: | 1442-9993 1442-9985 |
