Bee health refers to the physiological condition and population stability of bee species, which serve as critical pollinators for a vast array of flowering plants. Because many crops and wild plant species depend on bees for successful reproduction and fruit or seed set, declines in bee health can directly threaten plant biodiversity and agricultural yields. Understanding factors that support bee vitality, such as floral resource availability and exposure to agricultural chemicals, is essential for developing sustainable farming practices and conserving plant-pollinator ecosystems.
