Nutrition dictates nearly all biological processes and determines Darwinian fitness in all living organisms, including insects. Research on insect nutrition has a long history in the field of insect physiology and the importance of understanding insect nutrition has become increasingly apparent with the growing need for producing insects as food and feed. Nevertheless, it is only in recent years that we have witnessed a major breathrough in our knowledge of insect nutrition. The multivariate, in

Honey bees play a vital role as a major pollinator in both natural and agricultural ecosystems.

The health and welfare of honey bees are heavily dependent upon the supply of an adequate amount and balance of macro- and micronutrients at both individual and colony level. Failing to achieve this nutrient target engenders nutritional stresses, which are thought to
