“…A sustainable food production system should be established which can solve the contradiction between the growing population and the continuous decline in per capita arable area. , With the occurrence of pests and diseases, it is very essential for extensive application of a large number of pesticides, and the increase of pesticide resistance, however, has brought huge obstacles to the sustainable development of food production. − Therefore, development of efficient and safe pesticides is urgently needed. , Recently, the use of natural bioactive products as the lead structures for further modification has received much attention for the development of pesticide candidates. − Honokiol ( 1 , Figure ), as a biphenyl polyphenol-type compound isolated from the traditional Chinese medicine Magnolia officinalis, , showed a variety of properties such as anticancer, antioxidative, antiviral, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory activities .

To discover new potential botanical insecticides from plant secondary metabolites, a series of new honokiol-type monoester/diester derivatives containing the core scaffold of benzodihydrofuran were synthesized by structural modification of honokiol. Against Mythimna separata Walker, 2-hydroxymethy-5-(2′-(para-chlorobenzoyloxy)-5′-(1″,2″-epoxypropanyl))phenyl-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran (5) and 2-(2″-chloropyridin-5″-ylcarbonyloxy)methylene-5-(2′-(2″-chloropyridin-5″-ylcarbonyloxy)-5′-(1″,2″-epoxypropanyl))phenyl-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran (37) displayed >2.1-fold promising insecticidal activity of the precursor honokiol. Against Aphis citricola Van der Goot, 2-hydroxymethy-5-(2′-(tridecylcarbonyloxy)-5′-(1″,2″-epoxypropanyl))phenyl-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran (21) (LD50: 0.049 μg/nymph) and 2-(para-fluorobenzylcarbonyloxy)methylene-5-(2′-(para-fluorobenzylcarbonyloxy)-5′-(1″,2″-epoxypropanyl))phenyl-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran (31) (LD50: 0.040 μg/nymph) showed 3.5- and 4.3-folds potent aphicidal activity of honokiol (LD50: 0.171 μg/nymph), respectively. Interestingly, 2-(tridecylcarbonyloxy)methylene-5-(2′-(tridecylcarbonyloxy)-5′-(1″,2″-epoxypropanyl))phenyl-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran (46) (LC50: 0.186 mg/mL) and 2-(dodecylcarbonyloxy)methylene-5-(2′-(dodecylcarbonyloxy)-5′-(1″,2″-epoxypropanyl))phenyl-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran (53) (LC50: 0.159 mg/mL: >6.4-fold of honokiol (LC50: 1.024 mg/mL)) exhibited promising acaricidal activity and control efficiency against Tetranychus cinnabarinus Boisduval. Structure–activity relationships indicated that a specific length of the aliphatic chain is necessary for the agricultural activities of honokiol monoester/diester derivatives, especially for the acaricidal activity of diester derivatives.

“…Nevertheless, most data are derived from laboratory studies with Apis mellifera, with comparatively less information on Bombus and stingless-bee species or on sublethal effects under field conditions and during large periods (Arena and Sgolastra 2014; Barbosa et al 2015). Recently, some information on the effects of agrochemicals at environmentally relevant concentrations has been published for solitary bees (Graffigna et al 2021;Mokkapati et al 2021). For example, a field study in a Pampean agroecosystem (Argentina) showed that glyphosate influenced the behavior of the nesting females of wild solitary bees (Megachile spp.)…”

We investigated nutrition as a potential mechanism underlying the link between floral diversity/composition and wild bee performance. The health, resilience, and fitness of bees may be limited by a lack of nutritionally balanced larval food (pollen), influencing the entire population, even if adults are not limited nutritionally by the availability and quality of their food (mainly nectar). We hypothesized that the nutritional quality of bee larval food is indirectly connected to the species diversity of pollen provisions and is directly driven by the pollen species composition. Therefore, the accessibility of specific, nutritionally desirable key plant species for larvae might promote bee populations. Using a fully controlled feeding experiment, we simulated different pollen resources that could be available to bees in various environments, reflecting potential changes in floral species diversity and composition that could be caused by landscape changes. Suboptimal concentrations of certain nutrients in pollen produced by specific plant species resulted in reduced bee fitness. The negative effects were alleviated when scarce nutrients were added to these pollen diets. The scarcity of specific nutrients was associated with certain plant species but not with plant diversity. Thus, one of the mechanisms underlying the decreased fitness of wild bees in homogenous landscapes may be nutritional imbalance, i.e., the scarcity of specific nutrients associated with the presence of certain plant species and not with species diversity in pollen provisions eaten by larvae. Accordingly, we provide a conceptual representation of how the floral species composition and diversity can impact bee populations by affecting fitness-related life history traits. Additionally, we suggest that mixes of ‘bee-friendly’ plants used to improve the nutritional base for wild bees should be composed considering the local flora to supplement bees with vital nutrients that are scarce in the considered environment.
