Our multifaceted approach revealed that the mosaics of habitats surrounding urban flower meadows are at least as necessary to support bees as the local features of UFMs. An abundance of bees responded positively to the number of flowering units, the blue and yellow colors of flowers, and increased cover of industrial areas, green urban areas, and ...

The relationship between cuticular hydrocarbon (CHC) profile and the gut microbiome (GM) is poorly known in bees. In the primitively eusocial bee Halictus scabiosae we found a high rate of nest‐drifting by workers, which leads to a consequent highly variable intra‐colonial genetic relatedness. Genetically closely related workers, even occupying distant

Revision of the rare anthidiine bee genus Rhynostelis Moure & Urban (Hymenoptera, Apidae)
The bee genus Rhynostelis Moure & Urban, a cleptoparasite taxon restricted to the Neotropical Region, was previously known from a single species. In the present work, the genus is revised, with three species recognized, of which two are described as new:

Historical and recent investigations on the bee fauna of Taiwan (Hymenoptera, Apoidea) [PDF]
The bee fauna of Taiwan was studied intensively in the first half of last century and was based in large parts on the extensive material collected by Hans Sauter between 1902 and 1914. Subsequent studies on bees of Taiwan have only been sporadic.

The Genome and Methylome of a Subsocial Small Carpenter Bee, Ceratina calcarata [PDF]
Understanding the evolution of animal societies, considered to be a major transition in evolution, is a key topic in evolutionary biology. Recently, new gateways for understanding social evolution have opened up due to advances in genomics, allowing for ...

The subgenus Chelostomoides in Argentina (Hymenoptera: Megachilidae: Megachile)
A new species of Megachile subgenus Chelostomoides Robertson is described from xeric central-western Argentina. The male of the new species agrees with those of the M. exilis species group of North America, but not the female, which has a highly modifed clypeus and elongate mandibles.
