Effectiveness of infrared sensor camera monitoring for detecting pollinator visits to Cremastra appendiculata var. variabilis in a temperate forest in Central Japan

open access: yesPlant Species Biology, Volume 41, Issue 2, March 2026.
A 4‐year survey of Cremastra appendiculata var. variabilis pollinators was conducted using a commercially available sensor camera throughout the flowering period. Additionally, sensor cameras and interval photography were used simultaneously to compare the number of videos capturing bumblebees.

Comparative lipidomic and proteomic analysis reveals species‐specific differences in midgut composition and insecticide absorption between Apis mellifera and Bombus terrestris

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 2, Page 1540-1551, February 2026.
Lipidomic and proteomic analysis revealed large‐scale differences in the midgut composition of the honeybee Apis mellifera and the buff‐tailed bumblebee Bombus terrestris. These differences correlated to increased insecticide absorption in the bumblebee when using an ex vivo Ussing chamber and subsequently in vivo feeding assay (created in Biorender ...

Gradual pollen release in a buzz‐pollinated plant: Investigating pollen presentation theory under bee visitation

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 476-485, February 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The rate at which flowers dispense pollen across successive pollinator visits is a key functional trait influencing male reproductive success. Pollen presentation theory (PPT) predicts that when pollinators are abundant and actively groom their bodies to collect pollen,

Longevity of starved bumblebee queens (Hymenoptera: Apidae) is shorter at high than low temperatures

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2014
Northern bumblebees (Hymenoptera: Apidae) with annual lifecycles depend both on energy stores remaining in their fat body after diapause and a few spring flowering plants.

Does "Flight of the Bumblebee" resemble bumblebee flight?

open access: yes, 2022
"Flight of the Bumblebee" is one of the rare pieces of classical music which, through its association with bees, has cemented its place in pop culture. However, it is unclear whether its composer, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, actually took inspiration from bumblebee flight patterns.

Have the environmental benefits of insect farming been overstated? A critical review

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 163-194, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Insect farming is frequently promoted as a sustainable food solution, yet current evidence challenges many environmental benefits claimed by industry proponents. This review critically examines the scientific foundation for assessing the environmental impacts of insect farming in both human food and animal feed applications.

Do Insects Have Emotions? Some Insights from Bumble Bees

open access: yesFrontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2017
While our conceptual understanding of emotions is largely based on human subjective experiences, research in comparative cognition has shown growing interest in the existence and identification of “emotion-like” states in non-human animals.
