“…and Verticillium lecanii [Hypocreales: Cordycipitaceae] are toxic to honey bees [161]. Sublethal effects and effects on individual honey bee workers induced by B. bassiana exist and include altered AchE activity, reduced weight, reduced individual longevity, and altered sucrose response [162,163]. To mitigate the impact of entomopathogenic fungi on honey bees, non-toxic or less harmful fungi species, such as B. bassiana, should be chosen.…”

“…To mitigate the impact of entomopathogenic fungi on honey bees, non-toxic or less harmful fungi species, such as B. bassiana, should be chosen. Consecutive daily or short-term applications should be avoided where possible since lethal cumulative effects are possible [163,164]. It is further recommended to monitor treated hives since sublethal effects may not be immediately apparent as effects vary among individuals yet may still impact colony survivorship.…”

Pollinators play important roles in providing pollination services, maintaining biodiversity, and boosting crop production. Even though pollinators are essential to the environment and agriculture, their decline has been noted across multiple studies in the recent past. Both natural and anthropogenic factors have contributed to their decline. Much of the focus has been placed on climate change, habitat loss, pests and pathogens, and synthetic pesticides, but relatively little is known about the effects of biopesticides. Biopesticides are biological control agents derived from living organisms and are classified into three groups: microbial, biochemical, and plant-incorporated protectant-based products. Biopesticides are formulated similarly to their synthetic counterparts and are readily available and used within urban and agricultural settings by pest management experts and household residents. The general public and much scientific literature support the prevailing idea that biopesticides are environmentally safe and pollinator friendly in comparison with synthetic versions. However, such generalizations are based on studies with a few key pollinator species and may not be relevant to several other species that provide crop pollination services. Studies focused on native pollinators have shown that some biopesticides have lethal and sublethal effects. Because each biopesticide exhibits varying effects across pollinator species, it could be dangerous to generalize their non-toxicity across taxa and environmental settings. In this article, recent research in this direction is discussed.

“…Fungal biopesticides have been shown to be lethal to bees Leite et al, 2022). Nevertheless, fungal-based products can also cause non-lethal adverse side effects , for example, larvae development (Abdel Rasoul, Eid and Marei, 2013), bee cognition , nestmate recognition ) and foraging activity . For stingless bees, most studies on fungal biopesticides have been conducted on caged foragers in the laboratory at the individual level and focused on mortality of the exposed worker bees.…”
