Behavioral Responses of the Bumblebee Bombus terrestris to Volatile Compounds from Blueberries [PDF]

Biology
Bumblebees are important pollinating insects in crop pollination. Chemical attractants can effectively improve the flower-visiting efficiency of bumblebees, thereby increasing blueberry yields.

Bumblebee Diversity in Different Habitat Types and Along an Altitudinal Gradient at a Forest–Grassland Ecotone in the East Range of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau [PDF]

Insects
Bumblebees are the most important pollinators in alpine areas. Their survival is vulnerable to anthropogenic disturbance. To comprehend the variation in bumblebee diversity in different habitat types and altitudinal gradient, this study carried out ...

Light Sensitive Bumblebee Species Are Associated With Forest Habitat and Forest‐Dominated Landscapes [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
We investigate whether the eye parameter of bumblebees—a visual trait measuring the tradeoff between light sensitivity and visual resolution—is associated with: (i) local habitats, (ii) forest cover at the landscape scale (1 km radius), and (iii) the ...

Gustatory sensitivity to amino acids in bumblebee mouthparts [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science
Bees rely on amino acids from nectar and pollen for essential physiological functions. While nectar typically contains low (less than 1 mM) amino acid concentrations, levels in pollen are higher but variable (10–200 mM).

The relationship between managed bees and the prevalence of parasites in bumblebees [PDF]

PeerJ, 2014
Honey bees and, more recently, bumblebees have been domesticated and are now managed commercially primarily for crop pollination, mixing with wild pollinators during foraging on shared flower resources.

Recognition and avoidance of contaminated flowers by foraging bumblebees (Bombus terrestris). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Bumblebee colonies are founded by a single-mated queen. Due to this life history trait, bumblebees are more susceptible to parasites and diseases than polyandrous and/or polygynous social insects.

Bumblebees land rapidly by intermittently accelerating and decelerating toward the surface during visually guided landings

iScience, 2022
Summary: Many flying animals parse visual information to control their landing, whereby they can decelerate smoothly by flying at a constant radial optic expansion rate.
