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

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.

Reproductive Interference in an Introduced Bumblebee: Polyandry may Mitigate Negative Reproductive Impact

Insects, 2019
As a signature of reproductive interference (RI), we reviewed hybrid production in eusocial bumblebees in Japan, by comparing introduced Bombus terrestris with native B. ignitus in Honshu (main island of Japan) and with native B.

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 ...
