Super-entropy bumblebee AdS black holes

Physics Letters B
Motivated by the effect of the bumblebee field on thermodynamic instability in (non)extended phase space, we study the thermodynamic instability for the bumblebee AdS black holes. For this purpose, first, we evaluate the effect of the bumblebee field (or

Substantial variability in morphological scaling among bumblebee colonies

Royal Society Open Science, 2022
Differences in organ scaling among individuals may play an important role in determining behavioural variation. In social insects, there are well-documented intraspecific differences in colony behaviour, but the extent that organ scaling differs within ...

Bumblebee Abundance in Species-Rich Grasslands in Southern Sweden Decreases with Increasing Amount of Arable Land at a Landscape Level

Insects
Conservation of bumblebee populations is essential because of their role as pollinators. Declines in bumblebee abundance have been documented in recent decades, mostly attributed to agricultural intensification, landscape simplification and loss of semi ...

Identification of fungi isolated from commercial bumblebee colonies [PDF]

PeerJ
Fungi can have important beneficial and detrimental effects on animals, yet our understanding of the diversity and function of most bee-associated fungi is poor.

A Sublethal Concentration of Sulfoxaflor Has Minimal Impact on Buff-Tailed Bumblebee (Bombus terrestris) Locomotor Behaviour under Aversive Conditioning

Toxics, 2023
Pesticide exposure has been cited as a key threat to insect pollinators. Notably, a diverse range of potential sublethal effects have been reported in bee species, with a particular focus on effects due to exposure to neonicotinoid insecticides.

The Role of Pathogens in Bumblebee Decline: A Review

Pathogens
Bumblebees, the most important wild pollinators in both agricultural and natural ecosystems, are declining worldwide. The global decline of bumblebees may threaten biodiversity, pollination services, and, ultimately, agricultural productivity.

Ecological Stoichiometry of Bumblebee Castes, Sexes, and Age Groups

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021
Ecological stoichiometry is important for revealing how the composition of chemical elements of organisms is influenced by their physiological functions and ecology.

Diversity and Trophic Relationships of Functional Groups of Bumblebees (Hymenoptera: Apidae, Bombus Latreille, 1802) in Urban Habitats

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, 2020
Species composition, distribution, and trophic relationships of bumblebees are studied in six types of urban habitat: urban parks, botanical gardens, least-disturbed areas within the city, residential areas, and roadsides.

First Characterization of Sphingomyeline Phosphodiesterase Expression in the Bumblebee, Bombus lantschouensis

Sociobiology, 2017
The bumblebee (Bombus lantschouensis Vogt) is an important pollinator of wild plants. Sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase (SMPD) is a hydrolase that plays a major role in sphingolipid metabolism reactions.

Does "Flight of the Bumblebee" resemble bumblebee flight?

, 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.
