Abstract Queen health and quality play a significant role in the survival, expansion, productivity of honey bee colonies. Nevertheless, modern beekeeping practices, intensified agriculture, climate change can leave queens vulnerable to diverse stressors. These stressors exert negative impact on queens, resulting range morphological physiological abnormalities. The repercussions queen stress may not only cause direct impacts her survival performance, but it also extend offspring surviving through transgenerational mechanisms. Here, we review current knowledge regarding effects major abiotic (namely, nutrition, pesticides, extreme temperatures) their potential queen’s progeny. Gaining insight into these factors across individual colony levels is vital for prioritizing further research health.

Abstract Microplastics (MPs), as an environmental contaminant, pose a significant risk to both animal and human health through the food water supply chains. Honey, widely recognised safe health‐oriented product, may become compromised if its production process involves non‐biodegradable MPs. This study was conducted systematic review, using comprehensive searches of PubMed, Scopus ScienceDirect investigate effects MP on honey bee health, potential route main species composition contamination in honey. review highlights impacts MPs including mortality, sucrose response, habituation, olfactory learning, memory recall, colony performance, body size growth, gut microbiota viral infection. From mechanistic perspective, can disrupt equilibrium microbiota, adversely impact function immune system, undermine neural signalling pathways that are critical for learning processes bees. It is crucial consider applied aspects these findings beekeeping practices, adopting sustainable practices mitigate exposure minimize production. The also provided detailed information contact routes with MPs, environment (air, water, soil, pollen), (plastic hive activities). affect by altering energy homeostasis, causing oxidative stress, system deficiencies, malnutrition, reduced growth decreased reproductive rates. Synthesis applications . this highly relevant industry public policymakers. By identifying key detrimental microplastics (MPs) quality, research provides actionable insights beekeepers adopt management minimise exposure. Additionally, underscores need regulatory policies control pollution, ensuring safety product protecting pollinators health.
