Poor nutrition or harsh environmental conditions make bees more vulnerable to fungal infections.

Pollutants can increase bees' exposure to fungi, especially near chemical-using farms.

Fungal diseases weaken bee colonies by killing larvae, reducing worker bees, decreasing honey production, and increasing vulnerability to other illnesses.

Fungal diseases directly kill young bees, leading to a shortage of worker bees responsible for crucial tasks like collecting nectar, pollen, and producing honey.

A lack of worker bees causes a decrease in the amount of honey a hive produces due to less foraging and processing.

Fungal diseases make bees susceptible to secondary infections like parasites and bacteria, making them more vulnerable to these additional threats.

Healthy bees have to spend more energy and time cleaning the hive and removing dead larvae when fungal diseases are present, increasing their workload and stress.

Improving hive air circulation and reducing moisture levels to stop fungal growth.

Keeping hive tools and surfaces clean to prevent fungal spores from spreading.

Providing bees with a balanced diet to strengthen their immune system, defending against fungal infections.

Placing hives in well-ventilated areas with good sunlight exposure to minimize moisture and fungal growth.

Exposure to sunlight to reduce moisture and kill fungal spores, helping prevent illnesses.

Using propolis, a natural bee product, as a treatment to strengthen the bee's immune system against fungal diseases.

The use of natural antifungal medications, under expert guidance, for fungal treatment.

Getting rid of affected hive parts to stop the spread of infection to other parts of the hive and other hives.
