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 ...

The Pathogens Spillover and Incidence Correlation in Bumblebees and Honeybees in Slovenia
Pathogens, 2021 Slovenia has a long tradition of beekeeping and a high density of honeybee colonies, but less is known about bumblebees and their pathogens. Therefore, a study was conducted to define the incidence and prevalence of pathogens in bumblebees and to ...

Gap perception in bumblebees [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2018 AbstractA number of insects fly over long distances below the natural canopy where the physical environment is highly cluttered consisting of obstacles of varying shape, size and texture. While navigating within such environments animals need to perceive and disambiguate environmental features that might obstruct their flight. The most elemental aspect

Bumblebees can discriminate between scent-marks deposited by conspecifics [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 Bumblebees secrete a substance from their tarsi wherever they land, which can be detected by conspecifics. These secretions are referred to as scent-marks, which bumblebees are able to use as social cues.

Elevated temperature affects energy metabolism and behavior of bumblebees.
Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2023 Bumblebees (Bombus eximius) are one of the most prominent pollinators in the agricultural industry because of their adaptation to temperate climates and pollination behavior (buzz pollination).

Climate change winners and losers among North American bumblebees
Biology Letters, 2022 Mounting evidence suggests that climate change, agricultural intensification and disease are impacting bumblebee health and contributing to species’ declines. Identifying how these factors impact insect communities at large spatial and temporal scales is
