Environmental contamination research has been quite interesting in bioindicators recently. The basic objective of bioindicator is to find species that can reliably detect environmental disturbances and demonstrate how those affect other or biodiversity as a whole. Since they frequently come into contact with the harmful substances found soil, water, air, insects are particularly valuable for evaluating human activities terrestrial ecosystem, aquatic system, atmosphere. In this review article, we’ve emphasized use resource assessing contaminants monitoring contamination. Insects have our main focus since key indicators changes air quality. majority insects, including beetles, ants, honey bees, butterflies employed study biological sensitive even slightest also used monitor different toxins.

Abstract The Western honey bee Apis mellifera is a managed species that provides diverse hive products and contributing to wild plant pollination, as well being critical component of crop pollination systems worldwide. High mortality rates have been reported in different continents attributed factors, including pesticides, pests, diseases, lack floral resources. Furthermore, climate change has identified potential driver negatively impacting pollinators, but it still unclear how could affect populations. In this context, we carried out systematic review synthesize the effects on bees beekeeping activities. A total 90 articles were identified, providing insight into impacts (negative, neutral, positive) beekeeping. Interest change's impact increased last decade, with studies mainly focusing individuals, using empirical experimental approaches, performed at short‐spatial (<10 km) temporal (<5 years) scales. Moreover, environmental analyses based short‐term data (weather) concentrated only few countries. Environmental variables such temperature, precipitation, wind widely studied had generalized negative biological ecological aspects bees. Food reserves, plant‐pollinator networks, mortality, gene expression, metabolism impacted. Knowledge gaps included apiary beekeeper level, limited number predictive perception studies, poor representation large‐spatial mid‐term scales, analysis, understanding pests diseases. Finally, global are an emergent issue. This due their necessity implementing adaptation measures sustain activity under complex scenarios.

Hive bees provide essential pollination services to human agriculture. Managed honey in particular pollinate many crops, but also create and other bee products that are now of global economic importance.

Human activities are causing dramatic declines in ecosystem health, compromising the functioning of life-support system, economic activity, and animal human health. In this context, monitoring health ecosystems wildlife populations is crucial for determining ecological dynamics assessing management interventions.

However, we still need to overcome current limitations such as nucleic acid degradation, sequencing depth, establishment baseline data maximize potential studies.

Fourteen at variable concentrations were detected 63% samples analyzed. The most frequently found higher insecticides (neonicotinoids, followed by organophosphates), herbicides, fungicides. number, frequency, collected hives where intensive highly-technified agriculture practiced. Forty-three percent zone had residues imidacloprid, compared only 13% less-technified zone.
