Plant–arthropod associations in custard apples, genus Annona: A global perspective
Annona species, commonly known as custard apples, engage with a wide range of arthropods, including both herbivores and pollinators, which shape their ecology. These plants produce secondary metabolites that may serve as natural defenses against pests.

Optimizing Convolutional Neural Networks for Identifying Invasive Pollinator Apis Mellifera and Finding a Ligand drug to Protect California's Biodiversity [PDF]
In North America, there are many diverse species of native bees crucial for the environment, who are the primary pollinators of most native floral species. The Californian agriculture industry imports European honeybees (Apis Mellifera) primarily for pollinating almonds.

Planting native wildflowers improves vacant land as bee habitat in a post‐industrial city
Greening with native wildflowers in urban vacant land (pocket prairies) increases bee abundance and species richness in the post‐industrial city of Cleveland, Ohio, USA. Pocket prairies supported a similar bee abundance to Metropark grasslands in the surrounding landscape, but Metropark grasslands supported significantly higher bee diversity and ...

Odorant-binding proteins participate in the olfactory system of the honeybee. Apis mellifera ligustica and Apis cerana cerana are species of honeybee that have different biologic functions.

We investigated the compatibility of beekeeping with pollinator conservation in ‘prairie strips’ a conservation practice integrating native prairie habitat into agricultural environments. At prairie strip sites with and without a honey bee apiary, we analysed plant–bee interactions and bumble bee body conditions to determine the effect of apiaries on ...

Protocol for the in vitro rearing of honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) workers
The in vitro rearing of worker honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) has become an increasingly important method in honey bee research in general, and in pesticide risk assessment specifically.

We found that a dry active season increased abundance for large bees (Bombus impatiens and Xenoglossa pruinosa), whereas Agapostemon virescens and Ceratina calcarata were more abundant in wet active seasons. A dry year resulted in larger individuals with reduced foraging effort for most bees and communities were relatively more female‐biased.

Honeybees are pivotal pollinators of crops and wild flora, and of great importance in supporting critical ecosystem balance. Nosema ceranae, a unicellular fungal parasite that infects midgut epithelial cells of honeybees, can dramatically reduce honeybee
