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

Scientific 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.

Current Knowledge on Phytoremediation Potential of Industrial Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) for PFAS and Heavy Metal Contaminated Soils

Remediation Journal, Volume 36, Issue 2, Spring 2026.
ABSTRACT This review synthesizes current research on the phytoremediation potential of industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) for heavy metals, including arsenic, aluminium, mercury, copper, lead, cadmium, nickel, and zinc, as well as per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), commonly referred to as “forever chemicals.” A structured and transparent ...

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

Agronomy
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 ...

Microbiome‐mediated chemical communication in insects: Implications for pest management

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8132-8151, September 2026.
Microbiome–semiochemical interactions involve the following processes: direct microbial synthesis, host gene regulation, precursor biotransformation, microbiome modulation and indirect ecological signaling. Abstract Insects rely on semiochemicals to regulate aggregation, mating, foraging, and host selection. This review synthesizes evidence that insect‐

Co‐Flowering Plant Species in a Glasshouse Boost Both Strawberry Production and Bee Health

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 3, September 2026.
Integrating co‐flowering plants into glasshouse strawberry systems creates a “win‐win” synergy where floral diversification enhances stingless bee vitality and crop visitation. This approach increased A‐grade fruit from 25% to 70%, demonstrating that strategic biodiversity integration optimises both pollinator health and sustainable agricultural ...

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

Ecosphere, 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.

Oxidative stress in honey bees (Apis mellifera) and small carpenter bees (Ceratina calcarata) across different landscapes

Physiological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 526-536, September 2026.
First comparative study in oxidative stress between wild bees and managed bees. Bees collected from organic landscapes exhibited the lowest OX levels. Pesticide profiles were different among landscapes. Abstract Oxidative stress (OX) is a state of imbalance between antioxidants and reactive oxygen species, which are the byproducts of oxidative ...

Brood care by male bumble bees [PDF]

Proceedings 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.

Effect of SBS Copolymer Molecular Structure on the Long‐Term Aging and Resilience of Asphalt Binders: A Multiscale Morphological Study

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, Volume 311, Issue 8, August 2026.
Vinyl content governs the long‐term ageing resistance of SBS‐modified bitumen. Multiscale AFM, FM, SEM, and FTIR analyses show that low‐vinyl SBS copolymers (L‐SBS, B‐SBS) undergo pronounced bee‐phase growth, stiffening, and network fragmentation after PAV ageing, whereas high‐vinyl variants (HV‐SBS, DB‐SB) retain their morphology and chemistry ...
