Potential application of the bumblebee foraging recruitment pheromone for commercial greenhouse pollination [PDF]
, 2009 Commercial bumblebee colonies are important crop pollinators. Here we assess whether application of artificial foraging recruitment pheromone can increase foraging activity in Bombus terrestris colonies on a relevant timescale for commercial pollination.

Big bees do a better job : intraspecific size variation influences pollination effectiveness [PDF]
, 2014 Funding: School of Biology, University of St AndrewsBumblebees (Bombus spp.) are efficient pollinators of many flowering plants, yet the pollen deposition performance of individual bees has not been investigated.

A failed invasion? Commercially introduced pollinators in Southern France [PDF]
, 2009 The natural diversity of Bombus terrestris subspecies could be under threat from the commercialisation of bumblebees. Therefore, to determine whether commercially imported bumblebees are able to establish and spread, we carried out

Photoreceptor processing speed and input resistance changes during light adaptation correlate with spectral class in the bumblebee, Bombus impatiens. [PDF]
, 2011 Colour vision depends on comparison of signals from photoreceptors with different spectral sensitivities. However, response properties of photoreceptor cells may differ in ways other than spectral tuning. In insects, for example, broadband photoreceptors,

Sex ratio variation in the bumblebee Bombus terrestris [PDF]
Behavioral Ecology, 2004 Patterns of sex allocation in bumblebees have been enigmatic and difficult to interpret in either a Fisherian context or in a kinselection perspective. We gathered data on several hundred laboratory-reared colonies of the bumblebee Bombus terrestris and analyzed sex allocation as a function of diapause duration and a series of variables describing ...
