Electrophysiological and Behavioral Responses of Apis mellifera and Bombus terrestris to Melon Flower Volatiles

Insects, 2022
Simple Summary Honeybees (Apis mellifera) and bumblebees (Bombus terrestris) are often used to pollinate melon flowers in facilities. The researchers identified the volatiles in male and female flowers of a common melon species (Cucumis melo) grown in ...

Silent takeover: How invasive bees reshaped plant-pollinator interactions in a biodiversity hotspot [PDF]

NeoBiota
Biological invasions are a major driver of biodiversity loss. Invasive pollinators can reshape native plant-pollinator networks. This study, taking Chile as an example, is divided into two parts.

Replicative Deformed Wing Virus Found in the Head of Adults from Symptomatic Commercial Bumblebee (Bombus terrestris) Colonies

Veterinary Sciences, 2021
The deformed wing virus (DWV) is one of the most common honey bee pathogens. The virus may also be detected in other insect species, including Bombus terrestris adults from wild and managed colonies.

Searching for Molecular Markers to Differentiate Bombus terrestris (Linnaeus) Subspecies in the Iberian Peninsula

Sociobiology, 2018
Bumblebees (genus Bombus Latreille) are pollinator insects of great ecological and economic importance, which commercial use for pollination has increased since the 80s.

Characterizing the Mitogenome of the Endemic Bumblebee Subspecies from the Canary Islands for Conservation Purposes

Sociobiology, 2021
The taxonomic status of Bombus terrestris subspecies is complex and has deep implications in the management of commercial bumblebees for crop pollination as well as in the establishment of appropriate conservation plans.

Experimental viral spillover can harm Bombus terrestris workers under field conditions

Ecological Entomology, 2022
Deformed wing virus (DWV), notorious for its virulence in the western honey bee (Apis mellifera) when vectored by the ectoparasitic mite Varroa destructor, is also widespread among wild bumble bee species, presumably through spillover from honey bees ...

Interspecific Variation in Bumblebee Performance on Pollen Diet: New Insights for Mitigation Strategies. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Bumblebees (i.e. Bombus genus) are major pollinators of flowering wild plants and crops. Although many species are currently in decline, a number of them remain stable or are even expanding.

Higher developmental temperature increases queen production and decreases worker body size in the bumblebee Bombus terrestris

Journal of Hymenoptera Research, 2021
Climate change and increasing average temperatures are now affecting most ecosystems. Social insects such as bumblebees are especially impacted because these changes create spatial, temporal and morphological mismatches that could impede their ability to

De Novo Genome Assemblies for Three North American Bumble Bee Species: Bombus bifarius, Bombus vancouverensis, and Bombus vosnesenskii

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2020
Bumble bees are ecologically and economically important insect pollinators. Three abundant and widespread species in western North America, Bombus bifarius, Bombus vancouverensis, and Bombus vosnesenskii, have been the focus of substantial research ...
