A strong immune response in young adult honeybees masks their increased susceptibility to infection compared to older bees [PDF]

, 2012
Honeybees, Apis mellifera, show age-related division of labor in which young adults perform maintenance ("housekeeping") tasks inside the colony before switching to outside foraging at approximately 23 days old. Disease resistance is an important feature

Plant evolution can mediate negative effects from honey bees on wild pollinators

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Pollinators are introduced to agroecosystems to provide pollination services. Introductions of managed pollinators often promote ecosystem services, but it remains largely unknown whether they also affect evolutionary mutualisms between wild pollinators ...

Viral infection affects sucrose responsiveness and homing ability of forager honey bees, Apis mellifera L. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Honey bee health is mainly affected by Varroa destructor, viruses, Nosema spp., pesticide residues and poor nutrition. Interactions between these proposed factors may be responsible for the colony losses reported worldwide in recent years. In the present

Possible Spillover of Pathogens between Bee Communities Foraging on the Same Floral Resource

Insects, 2021
Viruses are known to contribute to bee population decline. Possible spillover is suspected from the co-occurrence of viruses in wild bees and honey bees.

Mason bees and honey bees synergistically enhance fruit set in sweet cherry orchards

Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Mason bees (Osmia spp.) are efficient fruit tree pollinators that can be encouraged to occupy and breed in artificial nesting material. In sweet cherry orchards, they are occasionally used as an alternative managed pollinator as a replacement for or in ...
