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.

Foraging preferences of bumble bee castes are weakly related to plant species cover on two arable agri-environment habitat types

Journal of Pollination Ecology, 2023
Arable field margins provide important floral resources for insect foragers. This study assessed the significance of cultivated margins and floristically enhanced margins, both English agri-environment scheme (AES) options, to foraging bumble bees ...

The potential of electricity transmission corridors in forested areas as bumblebee habitat [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2016
Declines in pollinator abundance and diversity are not only a conservation issue, but also a threat to crop pollination. Maintained infrastructure corridors, such as those containing electricity transmission lines, are potentially important wild ...

Diversification Pattern of the Widespread Holarctic Cuckoo Bumble Bee, Bombus flavidus (Hymenoptera: Apidae): The East Side Story

Insect Systematics and Diversity, 2021
Recent bumble bee declines have made it increasingly important to resolve the status of contentious species for conservation purposes. Some of the taxa found to be threatened are the often rare socially parasitic bumble bees.

Endosymbionts that threaten commercially raised and wild bumble bees (Bombus spp.)

Journal of Pollination Ecology, 2023
Bumble bees (Bombus spp.) are important pollinators for both wild and agriculturally managed plants. We give an overview of what is known about the diverse community of internal potentially deleterious bumble bee symbionts, including viruses, bacteria ...
