Observations on Colony Size in Bumblebees (\u3ci\u3eBombus\u3c/i\u3e Spp.) [PDF]
, 2017 (excerpt) One factor to consider when attempting to rear bumblebees (Bombus spp.) for pollination of crops is potential colony size. Species which emerge from hibernation early and continue to produce workers late in the summer or early fall are likely ...

Estimating wild bee population size with validated distance sampling
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Distance Sampling is a promising method to estimate population size but has never been validated on insects. We validated it on a honey bee population of known size. We applied Distance Sampling to three insular pollinators and found that estimates are consistent across days, match species phenology and reflect the expected influence of weather ...

Year‐round pollinator visitation of ornamental plants in Mediterranean urban parks
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Pollinators visiting ornamental plants in urban parks remained diverse throughout the year. They were represented by wild bees (42%), honeybees (37%), flies (18%), butterflies (2%) and beetles (1%). Both native and non‐native plants attracted pollinators.

To provide pollinator nesting habitat, cut dead perennial stems in their first winter
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Garden management practises need to consider stem‐nesting bees and wasps to avoid destroying active nests and important nesting materials. Volunteers collected samples of dead stems (in situ where they grew) in winter, spring, summer and fall as part of a participatory research project.

Diet breadth shapes gut microbiota in the invasive hornet Vespa velutina
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Dietary and microbial profiles of V. velutina larvae are dominated by Apidae and Firmicutes, respectively. DNA metabarcoding of larval meconium and gut samples reveals a significant positive correlation between prey richness and bacterial diversity in the invasive hornet V. velutina. Multiple significant correlations exist between dietary and microbial
