Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.We compiled the first checklist of wild bees in Doñana Protected Area, documenting 385 species, including three vulnerable and one endangered species listed in the Red List. Bee species exhibit diverse floral preferences, highlighting the need to incorporate plant–pollinator interactions and the role of plants in conservation and management strategies ...

A larval hunger signal in the bumblebee Bombus terrestris
Insectes Sociaux, 2006 Larvae of Bombus terrestris, a pollen-storing bumblebee, are dependent on progressive provisioning by workers. We test the hypothesis that larval cuticular chemicals can act as a hunger signal. We first show with a new classical conditioning experiment, using a Y-shaped tube, that workers can be trained to prefer the extracts of normally fed larvae ...

BumbleBEEP: A Sensor System for Bumblebee Colony Monitoring
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 10, Page 1268-1274, October 2026.We present a bumblebee colony monitoring system, BumbleBEEP. The system is fitted with thermometers and a custom weight sensor. These record data up to every 15 min, recording bumblebee brood nest temperature, environmental ambient temperature, and colony growth.

A core linkage map of the bumblebeeBombus terrestris
Genome, 2006 The bumblebee Bombus terrestris is an economically important pollinator and an emerging model species in quantitative and population genetics. We generated genetic linkage maps for 3 independent mapping populations of B. terrestris. The linkage map with the highest resolution had 21 linkage groups, which adequately represents the haploid chromosome ...

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 5, Page 853-865, October 2026.In the pollen stores of three bee species deployed across 128 European sites, bumble bees harboured lower lipid content and higher protein‐to‐lipid ratios than honey bees and mason bees. Toxicity‐weighted pesticide risk did not alter protein‐to‐lipid ratios, but higher risk was associated with reduced protein and lipid content in the pollen stores of ...

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 5, Page 912-925, October 2026.Bombus terrestris and Apis mellifera colonies sharing the same landscape (<50 m from each other) collected pollen with significantly different heavy metal concentrations. B. terrestris‐collected pollen contained 2–7× higher concentrations of arsenic, chromium, cobalt, lead and tin than A. mellifera‐collected pollen.

Climate warming and altered precipitation restructure grassland bumblebee communities
Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 9, September 2026.Abstract Climate change represents a major threat to global biodiversity and associated ecosystem functions, including pollination. In both natural and agricultural environments, semi‐natural grasslands represent crucial foraging and nesting habitats for wild pollinators such as bumblebees, for which temporal population trends in these habitats remain ...

Co‐Flowering Plant Species in a Glasshouse Boost Both Strawberry Production and Bee Health
Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 3, September 2026.Integrating co‐flowering plants into glasshouse strawberry systems creates a “win‐win” synergy where floral diversification enhances stingless bee vitality and crop visitation. This approach increased A‐grade fruit from 25% to 70%, demonstrating that strategic biodiversity integration optimises both pollinator health and sustainable agricultural ...
