Niche analyses and the potential distribution of four invasive bumblebees worldwide

Ecology and Evolution
The introduction of bees for agricultural production in distinct parts of the world and poor management have led to invasion processes that affect biodiversity, significantly impacting native species. Different Bombus species with invasive potential have

Rearing of Native Bumblebee Species Bombus haemorrhoidalis for Greenhouse Pollination in Pakistan

Agriculture
Greenhouse tomato production is a growing business worldwide, and it is strongly promoted by bumblebee pollination. Although there are over 250 bumblebee species worldwide, very few species have been reared successfully for greenhouse tomato pollination.

Analysis of a normalised expressed sequence tag (EST) library from a key pollinator, the bumblebee Bombus terrestris

BMC Genomics, 2010
Background The bumblebee, Bombus terrestris (Order Hymenoptera), is of widespread importance. This species is extensively used for commercial pollination in Europe, and along with other Bombus spp.

Colour pattern and DNA-barcoding reveal a wide distribution of the insular endemic bumble bee Bombus xanthopus in the Tuscan Archipelago

The European Zoological Journal
Insular ecosystems, due to their isolation from the mainland and limited areas, are often endemism hotspots. However, the same factors that drive high endemicity also make islands vulnerable to anthropogenic pressure and thus to biodiversity loss.

Buzzing benefits: How multi-species pollination boosts strawberry yield, quality, and nutritional value

Journal of Pollination Ecology
A diverse assemblage of insect visitors can provide functional complementarity within plant pollination due to differences in characteristics such as their physical traits, visitation rate and foraging time of day or year.

Sulfoksafloori mõju karukimalaste (Bombus terrestris) hingamisfüsioloogiale

, 2021
During the 21st century, there has been a sharp decline in the number of pollinators, one of the reasons considered is the frequent use of pesticides. Numerous studies have shown that certain pesticides (such as neonicotinoids) are harmful to bees and the use of these pesticides has been banned.

16S rRNA Amplicon Sequencing Demonstrates that Indoor-Reared Bumblebees (Bombus terrestris) Harbor a Core Subset of Bacteria Normally Associated with the Wild Host.

PLoS ONE, 2015
A MiSeq multiplexed 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing of the gut microbiota of wild and indoor-reared Bombus terrestris (bumblebees) confirmed the presence of a core set of bacteria, which consisted of Neisseriaceae (Snodgrassella), Orbaceae (Gilliamella ...
