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 ...

Parasites, parasitoids, and hive products that are potentially deleterious to wild and commercially raised bumble bees (Bombus spp.) in North America

Journal of Pollination Ecology, 2023
Bumble bees are important pollinators for a great diversity of wild and cultivated plants, and in many parts of the world certain species have been found to be in decline, gone locally extinct, or even globally extinct.

Big city Bombus: using natural history and land-use history to find significant environmental drivers in bumble-bee declines in urban development [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2017
Native bee populations are critical sources of pollination. Unfortunately, native bees are declining in abundance and diversity. Much of this decline comes from human land-use change.

New locality records and additional information on the Bombus (Hymenoptera: Apidae) fauna of Turkey

Біологічні студії, 2021
Background. The article presents the results of the research on bumblebees (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Bombus) housed in the Lodos Entomological Museum (Ege University, Izmir, Turkey). Bumblebees play a key role in ecosystems as pollinators.

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 ...

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 ...

Using the combined gene approach and multiple analytical methods to improve the phylogeny and classification of Bombus (Hymenoptera, Apidae) in China [PDF]

ZooKeys, 2020
Bumble bees are vital to our agro-ecological system, with approximately 250 species reported around the world in the single genus Bombus. However, the health of bumble bees is threatened by multiple factors: habitat loss, climate change, pesticide use ...

Individuality and consistency in foraging behaviour of the Bumblebee Bombus terrestris [PDF]

, 2012
PhDMany vertebrates and a few invertebrates are known to show individual-specific consistency in their behaviour across time and situations, sometimes in ways that can be paralleled with human personality.

An evidence-based rationale for a North American commercial bumble bee clean stock certification program

Journal of Pollination Ecology, 2023
The commercial production and subsequent movement of bumble bees for pollination of agricultural field and greenhouse crops is a growing industry in North America and globally.
