Development of a Modular 3D‐Printed Pollen Trap for Bumble Bee Monitoring
ABSTRACT Accurate pollen collection is essential for understanding bumble bee foraging dynamics, assessing environmental risks and monitoring colony health. Effective monitoring systems provide critical insights into pesticide exposure, floral resource availability and pollinator health.

Przestrzenne i czasowe zróżnicowanie Apoidea w lasach Wielkopolskiego Parku Narodowego [PDF]
Results of the investigations of spatial and temporal differentiations of Apoidea in the forests of Wielkopolski National Park were presented. It was shown that the both forest floor differ with the degree of species differentiation and domination’s ...

Winter activity unrelated to introgression in British bumblebee Bombus terrestris audax
Bombus terrestris is a bumblebee with a wide geographic range, with subspecies showing a variety of local adaptations. Global export of commercially-reared B. terrestris started in the 1980s; the bees are a mixture of subspecies bred for ease of rearing,

ABSTRACT Pollinators harbour diverse RNA viromes that play a vital role in their health. Yet, factors that shape viral communities are often unclear. The European honey bee (Apis mellifera) is experiencing a viral epidemic since the emergence of the parasitic mite Varroa destructor (varroa) introduced vector‐borne transmission, which has also been ...

Allele specific expression in worker reproduction genes in the bumblebee Bombus terrestris [PDF]
Methylation has previously been associated with allele specific expression in ants. Recently, we found methylation is important in worker reproduction in the bumblebee Bombus terrestris.

Multiple stressors interact to impair the performance of bumblebee (Bombus terrestris) colonies.
1. Bumblebees are constantly exposed to a wide range of biotic and abiotic stresses which they must defend themselves against to survive. Pathogens and pesticides represent important stressors that influence bumblebee health, both when acting alone or in

Landscape and Climate‐Associated Selection in the Native and Widespread Bumblebee, Bombus terrestris
ABSTRACT Anthropogenic land‐use and climate change pose novel selection pressures on bees, yet their evolutionary responses in terms of morphological or physiological adaptations remain unclear. While adaptive responses are expected, these may be constrained by gene flow when changes in selection pressures are spatially heterogeneous.

How Population Structure and Nest Membership Shape Pathogen Patterns in Bumble Bees
ABSTRACT Host density, genetic diversity and social groups are key factors influencing pathogen transmission in wildlife populations, but their interactions remain poorly understood in insects. Islands can provide natural laboratories with distinct populations that vary in density and genetic diversity, whereby dense, genetically homogeneous ...

Bumble bees exhibit exceptional diversity in their segmental body coloration largely as a result of mimicry. In this study we sought to discover genes involved in this variation through studying a lab-generated mutant in bumble bee Bombus terrestris, in ...

Decision‐support tools for pollinators and pollination in agricultural landscapes: A systematic map
We systematically mapped tools designed to support pollinators and pollination services in agricultural landscapes. Gaps in decision support tools include fewer tools on wild pollinators, limited coverage of drivers of decline, unspecified target users and pollinators, geographical biases and technical skills requirements.
