Effectiveness of electric harps in reducing Vespa velutina predation pressure and consequences for honey bee colony development [PDF]
Pest Management Science, Volume 78, Issue 12, Page 5142-5149, December 2022., 2022 Vespa velutina predates honey bees affecting feeding, reproduction and health of honey bees. Electric harps effectively reduced predation, colony paralysis and colony death. Photograph: S. Rojas‐Nossa©. Abstract BACKGROUND Vespa velutina has become a species of concern in invaded regions of Europe and Asia, due to its impacts on biodiversity ...

Superinfection Exclusion in Neotropical Honey Bees May Block DWV‐B, an Emerging Infectious Disease Variant of Deformed Wing Virus [PDF]
Evolutionary Applications, Volume 18, Issue 8, August 2025.ABSTRACT RNA viruses often comprise multiple variants that co‐circulate in a host population, with potentially complex dynamics. Deformed wing virus (DWV), arguably the most impactful virus of honey bees (Apis mellifera), nowadays exists as two major variants, genotypes A (DWV‐A) and B (DWV‐B), which provide an amenable window into the dynamics of ...

Proximity to Natural Habitat Is Not Consistently Associated With Pollination Services in Tropical Smallholder Farms: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis [PDF]
Ecology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 12, December 2025.We conducted a systematic review and meta‐analysis of 35 studies to examine the relationship between distance to natural habitat and pollinator abundance, species richness and crop fruit set in tropical smallholder farms. We found no consistent effects on abundance or fruit set, and only a slight, highly variable negative effect on pollinator richness,

Dominance of African racial ancestry in honey bee colonies of Mexico 30 years after the migration of hybrids from South America [PDF]
Evolutionary Applications, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2024.Abstract The Africanized honey bee, a hybrid of Apis mellifera scutellata from Africa with European subspecies, has been considered an invasive species and a problem for beekeeping. Africanized bees arrived in Mexico in 1986, 30 years after their accidental release in Brazil.

Antimicrobial, Antioxidant, Anti‐Inflammatory, and Cytotoxic Activities of Propolis from the Stingless Bee Tetragonisca fiebrigi (Jataí) [PDF]
Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015 Propolis from stingless bees Tetragonisca fiebrigi found in Brazil is used in folk medicine by their nutritional and therapeutic properties. However, there are no scientific records evidencing such properties. The present study was designed to investigate the chemical composition and the biological properties of propolis from T. fiebrigi. For this, the

Spatial mismatch between wild bee diversity hotspots and protected areas
Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 4, August 2023., 2023 Abstract Wild bees are critical for multiple ecosystem functions but are currently threatened. Understanding the determinants of the spatial distribution of wild bee diversity is a major research gap for their conservation. We modeled wild bee α and β taxonomic and functional diversity in Switzerland to uncover countrywide diversity patterns and ...

Facilitating biodiversity conservation through partnerships to achieve transformative outcomes
Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 3, June 2023., 2023 Abstract Conservation biology is a mission‐driven discipline that must navigate a new relationship between conservation and science. Because conservation is a social and political as well as an ecological project, conservation biologists must practice interdisciplinarity and collaboration.
