Effects of climate change on phenologies and distributions of bumble bees and the plants they visit
Ecosphere, 2016 Surveys of bumble bees and the plants they visit, carried out in 1974 near the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory in Colorado, were repeated in 2007, thus permitting the testing of hypotheses arising from observed climate change over the intervening 33‐

Local management and landscape effects on diversity of bees, wasps and birds in urban green areas [PDF]
, 2008 Today almost all ecosystems on Earth are directly or indirectly influenced by human activity. Most species occur in ecosystems that are managed by humans and only a small fraction of biodiversity exists in protected areas.

Olfactory coding in the antennal lobe of the bumble bee Bombus terrestris
Scientific Reports, 2021 Sociality is classified as one of the major transitions in evolution, with the largest number of eusocial species found in the insect order Hymenoptera, including the Apini (honey bees) and the Bombini (bumble bees).

Bumble bees create a buzz [PDF]
Science, 2017 Conservation Foraging bees create characteristic vibrations at frequencies of 120 to 400 Hz. Miller-Struttmann et al. set out to investigate whether the vibrations created by bumble bees can be used to estimate pollination success. They show that physical attributes such as body size and tongue length, which influence pollination success, are ...

The Bee Hemolymph Metabolome: A Window into the Impact of Viruses on Bumble Bees [PDF]
Viruses, 2021 State-of-the-art virus detection technology has advanced a lot, yet technology to evaluate the impacts of viruses on bee physiology and health is basically lacking. However, such technology is sorely needed to understand how multi-host viruses can impact the composition of the bee community.

An updated understanding of Texas bumble bee (Hymenoptera: Apidae) species presence and potential distributions in Texas, USA [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Texas is the second largest state in the United States of America, and the largest state in the contiguous USA at nearly 700,000 sq. km. Several Texas bumble bee species have shown evidence of declines in portions of their continental ranges, and ...

Solar park management and design to boost bumble bee populations
Environmental Research Letters, 2022 Solar photovoltaics is projected to become the dominant renewable, with much capacity being installed as ground-mounted solar parks. Land use change for solar can affect ecosystems across spatial scales and solar parks offer a unique opportunity for ...

Analyzing the Dietary Diary of Bumble Bee [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 Bumble bees are important crop pollinators and provide important pollination services to their respective ecosystems. Their pollen diet and thus food preferences can be characterized through nucleic acid sequence analysis. We present ITS2 amplicon sequence data from pollen collected by bumble bees. The pollen was collected from six different bumble bee
