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.

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]
InsectsBumblebees 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 ...

RNA virus spillover from managed honeybees (Apis mellifera) to wild bumblebees (Bombus spp.)
PLoS ONE, 2019 The decline of many bumblebee species (Bombus spp.) has been linked to an increased prevalence of pathogens caused by spillover from managed bees. Although poorly understood, RNA viruses are suspected of moving from managed honeybees (Apis mellifera ...

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

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.
