Bridging the Buzz: In vivo EPR imaging unlocking the secrets of honey bee health

Abstract Honey bees, crucial for ecosystems and human health, confront rising mortality from parasites, pesticides, habitat loss, nutrition issues, and climate change. This affects the environment, economy, and human well-being. Progress in EPR instrumentation offers promise for in vivo imaging of small samples, like bees. This paper introduces a pioneering in vivo EPR imaging methodology to explore redox processes in honey bee intestines, advancing our understanding of these vital insects' health.
