Antioxidation Defenses of <i>Apis mellifera</i> Queens and Workers Respond to Imidacloprid in Different Age-Dependent Ways: Old Queens Are Resistant, Foragers Are Not

Antioxidation Defenses of <i>Apis mellifera</i> Queens and Workers Respond to Imidacloprid in Different Age-Dependent Ways: Old Queens Are Resistant, Foragers Are Not

We investigated how different antioxidant defenses (ADSs) were shaped by evolution in young/old <i>Apis mellifera</i> workers and queens to broaden the limited knowledge on whether ADSs are effective in contemporary pesticide environments and to complete bee oxidative-aging theory. We ac...
