Identification and description of Indian parasitic bee genus Sphecodes Latreille 1804, (Halictidae: Hymenoptera) [PDF]
The present study provides an updated knowledge on taxonomy of three important species of Sphecodes Latreille, 1804 which were collected from different parts of India. Three species viz., Sphecodes iridipennis Smith 1879, S.

Evaluating the SPRING pollinator monitoring methods in Flanders (Belgium)
This study evaluated six methods for monitoring wild bees and hoverflies in Flanders, showing that pan traps were most effective for bees, while combining pan traps and transect walks best captured hoverfly diversity. Trap height, UV reflectance and seasonal variation strongly influenced sampling outcomes, highlighting the need for protocol refinement ...

Przestrzenne i czasowe zróżnicowanie Apoidea w lasach Wielkopolskiego Parku Narodowego [PDF]
Results of the investigations of spatial and temporal differentiations of Apoidea in the forests of Wielkopolski National Park were presented. It was shown that the both forest floor differ with the degree of species differentiation and domination’s ...

Diversity and abundance of solitary and primitively eusocial bees in an urban centre: a case study from Northampton (England) [PDF]
The apparent reduction of solitary and primitively eusocial bees populations has remained a huge concern over the past few decades and urbanisation is considered as one of the factors affecting bees at different scales depending on bee guild.

Virus distributions in wild bees are associated with floral communities at local to landscape scales
Abstract Bees are focal pollinators, essential for maintaining biodiversity and crop production. Thus, reports of high annual honey bee colony losses and population declines among many wild bees in different parts of the world are of major concern. The spread of viruses is highlighted as a potential threat to bee communities.

Andrena vaga nesting sites were preferably located under canopy cover. The soils of the nesting sites were warmer and drier and showed less penetration resistance and vegetation cover compared to uncolonized control areas. Experimental bare ground plots located within control areas did not provoke colonization of Andrena vaga, assumingly due to social ...

The native bee fauna of the Palouse Prairie (Hymenoptera: Apoidea) [PDF]
While synoptic collections provide data on the range and general composition of the North American bee fauna, bee communities associated with specific habitats are largely uncharacterized.

Shifting spring ephemeral pollination windows under climate change – a three‐body problem
Summary Potential and realized climate change‐driven phenological mismatches have been reported across a variety of pairwise species' interactions. However, species often engage in more than one type of temporally structured interaction – therefore, the consequences of phenological shifts must be evaluated in this context.

Plant–pollinator network diversity, complexity, and structure decrease in scenarios of large herbivore overabundance, but network robustness will be unaffected if dominant plants are not palatable. Abstract Large herbivores are keystone species, so changes in their population abundance can have cascading effects on ecosystems.
