简介：
Overview
This study explores the use of immunohistochemical methods to examine apoptosis and necrosis in honeybee tissues, particularly in the midgut and hypopharyngeal glands. The method aids in assessing cellular responses to pesticide treatments in honeybees, contributing to our understanding of the impacts of acaricides on bee health.
