Comparative lipidomic and proteomic analysis reveals species-specific differences in midgut composition and insecticide absorption between Apis mellifera and Bombus terrestris. [PDF]

Pest Manag Sci
Lipidomic and proteomic analysis revealed large‐scale differences in the midgut composition of the honeybee Apis mellifera and the buff‐tailed bumblebee Bombus terrestris. These differences correlated to increased insecticide absorption in the bumblebee when using an ex vivo Ussing chamber and subsequently in vivo feeding assay (created in Biorender ...

Sunflower pollen reduces a gut pathogen in the model bee species, Bombus impatiens, but has weaker effects in three wild congeners

Proceedings of the Royal Society B, 2022
Commercial bumblebees have become popular models to understand stressors and solutions for pollinator health, but few studies test whether results translate to other pollinators.
