BumbleBEEP: A Sensor System for Bumblebee Colony Monitoring
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.We present a bumblebee colony monitoring system, BumbleBEEP. The system is fitted with thermometers and a custom weight sensor. These record data up to every 15 min, recording bumblebee brood nest temperature, environmental ambient temperature, and colony growth.

Re-introducing honey in the management of wounds and ulcers - theory and practice [PDF]
, 2002 Dressing wounds with honey was standard practice in past times but went out of fashion when antibiotics came into use. There has been a renaissance in its usage now that antibiotic-resistant bacteria have become a widespread clinical problem, and ...

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.Yeasts that specialize in flower nectar play an important role in pollination ecology. Metschnikowia reukaufii and Metschnikowia koreensis were the most prevalent nectar yeasts found in our field sites. Bee pollinators exhibited different behavioural responses to nectar yeasts in field experiments. Bees visited more flowers with M.

Oligosaccharide profiles of Asian commercial honeys [PDF]
, 2012 As part of the development of a method to detect honey in imported materials, a database of the oligosaccharide composition of a range of Asian commercial honeys has been prepared.

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.In the pollen stores of three bee species deployed across 128 European sites, bumble bees harboured lower lipid content and higher protein‐to‐lipid ratios than honey bees and mason bees. Toxicity‐weighted pesticide risk did not alter protein‐to‐lipid ratios, but higher risk was associated with reduced protein and lipid content in the pollen stores of ...

AN EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS OF HONEYBEE POLLINATION MARKETS [PDF]
Pollination by honeybees plays an important role in modern agriculture. Some crops are greatly dependent on honeybees (almonds, apples, avocados, blueberries, and cherries are examples) while the yields and quality of other crops are significantly ...

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.Bombus terrestris and Apis mellifera colonies sharing the same landscape (<50 m from each other) collected pollen with significantly different heavy metal concentrations. B. terrestris‐collected pollen contained 2–7× higher concentrations of arsenic, chromium, cobalt, lead and tin than A. mellifera‐collected pollen.

Why we Should Study Solitary Species to Understand the Costs of Group‐Living
Ethology, EarlyView.It's easier to measure the benefits than the costs of a trait. Solitary species benefit by avoiding the costs of group living. Thus, measuring benefits of solitary living informs us about the costs of group living. ABSTRACT While for decades behavioral ecologists have studied the benefits of group living, measuring its costs has been more difficult. It

Unraveling the local adaptation and population structure of Iberian honey bee [PDF]
, 2013 Unraveling the complex evolutionary history of Apis mellifera iberiensis is a challenging task. Several studies have been carried out in the Iberian honey bee to explain its origin, suggesting two possible hypotheses: a primary intergradation process ...
