Recently identified bee viruses and their impact on bee pollinators
Current Opinion in Insect Science, 2018 Bees are agriculturally and ecologically important plant pollinators. Recent high annual losses of honey bee colonies, and reduced populations of native and wild bees in some geographic locations, may impact the availability of affordable food crops and the diversity and abundance of native and wild plant species.

Evaluating Pollination Deficits in Pumpkin Production in New York [PDF]
, 2017 Potential decreases in crop yield from reductions in bee-mediated pollination services threaten food production demands of a growing population. Many fruit and vegetable growers supplement their fields with bee colonies during crop bloom.

Impact of Bee Species and Plant Density on Alfalfa Pollination and Potential for Gene Flow
Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, 2010 In outcrossing crops like alfalfa, various bee species can contribute to pollination and gene flow in seed production fields. With the increasing use of transgenic crops, it becomes important to determine the role of these distinct pollinators on alfalfa

Use of bee-attractants in increasing crop productivity in Niger (Guizotia abyssinica. L)
Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2013 The use of bee attractants, Bee-Q and Fruit BoostTM in the pollination of niger was evaluated. Bee visitations to niger flowers were observed for two weeks and an estimation of seed yield was determined.
