Colony‐level pollen collection reflects visitation of managed bumble bees (Bombus impatiens) in strawberry fields and surrounding landscapes without reducing pollen limitation

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 4, Page 636-647, November 2026.
We extracted pollen from colony beeswax to quantify season‐long, colony‐level resource use and tested how managed Bombus impatiens visitation and Rosaceae pollen collection relate to landscape context and strawberry pollination. Increased managed bumble bee visitation was not influenced by surrounding landcover, did not reduce pollen limitation and ...

Homing ability of the bumblebee bombus terrestris (hymenoptera: apidae)

open access: yes, 2001
The ability of bumblebees to locate their nest site following artificial displacement was investigated. Bombus terrestris (Hymenoptera: Apidae) workers were marked with numbered tags and displaced up to 15 km from their nest. Bees returned from distances

Fungicide Non‐Target Effects Cause Reduced Sawfly Herbivory in Treated and Neighbouring Strawberry Plants

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 11, Page 1314-1321, November 2026.
Application of the fungicide Switch 62.5 WG in garden strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa), targeting Botrytis cinerea, reduced sawfly (Cladius spp.) herbivory by up to 94% and improved fruit quality. This non‐target effect also spilled over to neighbouring untreated plants, lowering damage by 46%.

Mapping wild bee diversity and flower use for an effective conservation of the Doñana biodiversity hotspot

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 6, Page 1603-1619, November 2026.
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 ...

Identification and functional characterisation of a novel N-cyanoamidine neonicotinoid metabolising cytochrome P450, CYP9Q6, from the buff-tailed bumblebee Bombus terrestris [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Recent work has shown that two bumblebee (Bombus terrestris) cytochrome P450s of the CYP9Q subfamily, CYP9Q4 and CYP9Q5, are important biochemical determinants of sensitivity to neonicotinoid insecticides.

Brain Transcriptomic Changes Associated With the Socially Regulated Behavioural Specialisation of Ant Queens

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 21, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Insect societies are characterised by a reproductive division of labour between queens that monopolise egg production and workers that perform all non‐reproductive tasks. The queen specialisation in egg laying is typically considered to be constitutive and independent of environmental conditions, but this common assumption was recently ...

Synergistic effect of honeybees and wild floral visitors in promoting sweet cherry fruit set in central Chile

open access: yesBiological Research
Background Recent evidence highlights the key role of wild insects as pollinators in agroecosystems, enhancing fruit set in crops such as sweet cherry (Prunus avium). In Chile, the contribution of wild insects to crop yield remains poorly understood, and

Assessing pollinator efficiency in blueberry: From bumblebee buzzing to ant foraging

open access: yesJournal of Pollination Ecology
Highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum) depends on biotic pollination to produce marketable fruits. A wide range of insects, from managed honey bees (Apis mellifera) to wild bees, hoverflies and other insects, visit blueberry flowers, but their ...
