Reproductive success through high pollinator visitation rates despite self incompatibility in an endangered wallflower [PDF]
, 2016 PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Self incompatibility (SI) in rare plants presents a unique challenge—SI protects plants from inbreeding depression, but requires a sufficient number of mates and xenogamous pollination. Does SI persist in an endangered polyploid? Is

Assessing the role of dispersed floralresources for managed bees in providingsupporting ecosystem services for croppollination [PDF]
, 2018 Most pollination ecosystem services studies have focussed on wild pollinators and their dependence on natural floral resources adjacent to crop fields. However, managed pollinators depend on a mixture of floral resources that are spatially separated from

Preliminary studies on different extracts of some honey bee products [PDF]
, 2013 The aim of present study was to compare the phytochemical composition of different extracts of bee pollen, propolis and honey and to analyse the best solvent for maximum phytochemicals extraction. These preliminary studies are significant in locating the

Flower–bee versus pollen–bee metanetworks in fragmented landscapes
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological SciencesUnderstanding the organization of mutualistic networks at multiple spatial scales is key to ensure biological conservation and functionality in human-modified ecosystems. Yet, how changing habitat and landscape features affect pollen–bee interaction networks is still poorly understood.

Molecular and phylogenetic characterization of honey bee viruses, Nosema microsporidia, protozoan parasites, and parasitic mites in China [PDF]
, 2008 China has the largest number of managed honey bee colonies, which produce the highest quantity of honey and royal jelly in the world; however, the presence of honey bee pathogens and parasites has never been rigorously identified in Chinese apiaries.

Pollen foraging preferences in honey bees and the nutrient profiles of the pollen
Scientific ReportsAbstractHoney bees are important insect pollinators that provide critical pollination services to fruit and nut crops in the US. They face challenges likely due to pressures associated with agricultural intensification related habitat loss. To better understand this, pollen preferences of foraging bees and the nutritional profile of pollen brought into

Antibacterial Activity of Honey and Bee Pollen Collected from Bee Hives from Three Climatic Regions of Golestan Province Against some Clinical Isolates with High Antibiotic Resistance [PDF]
Research and Innovation in Food Science and TechnologyHoney and bee pollen are among useful and valuable food products that have been used as medicine in treatment of diseases. This study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial potential of three samples of honey and bee pollen collected from bee hives of three

The limitations of the methods of identifying the floral source of honeys [PDF]
, 1998 The pollen grains in honey reveal the types of plants that were around when the bees produced the honey, thus it is valid to use melissopalynology to determine the geographical origin of honeys, but there are several reasons why it is less valid for ...
