Bumble bees in landscapes with abundant floral resources have lower pathogen loads

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2020
The pollination services provided by bees are essential for supporting natural and agricultural ecosystems. However, bee population declines have been documented across the world.

Ensemble Modeling Reveals Threats to Pollination Services From Asynchronous Range Shifts Between Camellia oleifera and Its Specialized Wild Bee Pollinators

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study employed ensemble species distribution models (SSDMs) to project the potential distributions of C. oleifera and these two key pollinators under current and future climate scenarios. We integrated field survey data with open biodiversity database records to simulate suitable habitats and quantify their spatiotemporal overlap.

Comparison of seasonal viral prevalence supports honey bees as potential spring pathogen reservoirs for bumble bees

open access: yesEcosphere
Bee declines pose a serious risk to agricultural sustainability, wild plant diversity, and the commercial bee industry, generating local and global concerns about bee health. Parasites, including micro‐parasites and macro‐parasites, negatively impact bee

Microbial Pressure and Social Immunity: Bumble Bees Increase Brood Hygiene After Exposure to a Bacillus thuringiensis‐Based Biopesticide

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
In social insect colonies, diseased or dead brood is identified and removed by workers to prevent the infection of the whole colony. Here, bumble bee larvae exposed to a bacterium (Bacillus thuringiensis ssp. aizawai (strain: ABTS‐1857)) based biopesticide were removed more frequently than wounded or untreated control larvae. This shows that bumble bee

Hive Insulation Increases Foraging Activities of Bumble Bees (Bombus impatiens) in a Wild Blueberry Field in Quebec, Canada

open access: yesAgronomy
Common eastern bumble bees (Bombus impatiens Cresson) play an essential role in pollinating lowbush blueberries (LB) in northern Quebec, but their costs and the suboptimal weather conditions during pollination highlight the need to find appropriate hive ...

Brood care by male bumble bees [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1985
Male Bombus griseocollis (Hymenoptera: Apidae) share in the brood care of nestmates by incubating pupae (usually during the first few days after they emerge as adults). Male posture during incubation of a pupa is identical to that observed for females.

Substantial genetic divergence and lack of recent gene flow support cryptic speciation in a colour polymorphic bumble bee (Bombus bifarius) species complex

open access: yes, 2020
Phenotypic polymorphism can constitute an inherent challenge for species delimitation. This issue is exemplified in bumble bees (Bombus), where species can exhibit high colour variation across their range, but otherwise exhibit little morphological ...

“Passive” Scalecraft as a State Strategy in Post‐Authoritarian Environmental Governance: A Case From South Korea

open access: yesEnvironmental Policy and Governance, Volume 36, Issue 3, Page 491-500, June 2026.
ABSTRACT This study employs a scalar politics framework to unpack how participatory rhetoric operates statecraft in a post‐authoritarian context, thereby illuminating hybrid‐regime behavior along a continuum of environmental governance. An examination of the environmental governance of an ecotourism project in South Korea is performed using ...

Fantastic bees and where to find them: locating the cryptic overwintering queens of a western bumble bee

open access: yesEcosphere, 2019
Bumble bees are among the best‐studied bee groups worldwide, yet surprisingly we know almost nothing about their overwintering habitats nor the microsite characteristics that govern selection of these sites.

The bumble bee microbiome increases survival of bees exposed to selenate toxicity.

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology, 2019
Bumble bees are important and widespread insect pollinators who face many environmental challenges. For example, bees are exposed to the metalloid selenate when foraging on pollen and nectar from plants growing in contaminated soils. As it has been shown
