The gut microbiota of bumblebees

Insectes Sociaux, 2021
Bumblebees (Bombus) are charismatic and important pollinators. They are one of the best studied insect groups, especially in terms of ecology, behavior, and social structure. As many species are declining, there is a clear need to understand more about them.

Bumblebees

Current Biology
Few stinging insects inspire as much warm affection as bumblebees. This group of social, furry, and colorful bees, all comprised within the genus Bombus Latreille, are among the most abundant pollinators in cold or temperate ecosystems, and act as key vectors for the pollination of both wild and cultivated flowering plants.

Allergy to bumblebees

Current Opinion in Allergy & Clinical Immunology, 2006
Field stings by bumblebees are uncommon because of the habitat and nonaggressiveness of these insects. More stings have been reported in the Netherlands because of the increasing use of bumblebees in flowering industries such as tomato growing. The purpose of this review is to summarize the recent literature concerning bumblebee anaphylaxis and ...

Allergy to bumblebee venom

Current Opinion in Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2001
Allergy to bumblebee venom is a rare form of Hymenoptera venom allergy. Because bumblebees are increasingly used for the pollination of greenhouse plants, the prevalence of this Hymenoptera allergy has increased during the past decade. The clinical presentation, diagnosis and therapy of bumblebee venom allergy are similar to other Hymenoptera venom ...

Abuzz with bumblebee genomes

Nature Reviews Genetics, 2020
A study in Molecular Biology and Evolution reports de novo genome sequences for 17 bumblebee species spanning all 15 subgenera. This valuable resource should provide a deeper biological understanding of these commercially and ecologically important pollinators.

Bumblebees

2009
Abstract Bumblebees are familiar and charismatic insects, occurring throughout much of the world. They are increasingly being used as a model organism for studying a wide range of ecological and behavioural concepts, such as social organization, optimal foraging theories, host-parasite interactions, and pollination.

Bumblebees adapt for turbulence

Journal of Experimental Biology, 2017
![Graphic][1] Everyone has heard the myth that bumblebees defy the laws of physics when they fly. Of course, we know that this is not the case, but we still know surprisingly little about how bumblebees fly in outdoor environments, where the weather can change abruptly.

Plight of the bumblebee

Trends in Plant Science, 2001
Many important crops – not to mention more humble plants – rely on insects to pollinate them and ensure the arrival of the next generation. Thus, any decline in insect numbers has attendant ecological and economic problems. This is a particular problem for bumblebees in the UK, whose numbers have declined over the past 50 years, largely because of ...

Bumblebees as Pollinators

2009
Abstract Darwin was fascinated by pollination and by bees, and particularly by bumblebees (or humble-bees, as he knew them). His prodigious correspondence is littered with descriptions of his observations on the interactions between bees and flowers; the quote above follows his inaccurate prediction that nectar-robbing honeybees on ...
