Interactions between the introduced European honey bee and native bees in urban areas varies by year, habitat type and native bee guild

Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2021
AbstractEuropean honey bees have been introduced across the globe and may compete with native bees for floral resources. Compounding effects of urbanization and introduced species on native bees are, however, unclear. Here, we investigated how honey bee abundance and foraging patterns related to those of native bee abundance and diversity in ...

The Conservation of Native Honey Bees Is Crucial

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2019
Recent studies have emphasized the role of the western honey bee, Apis mellifera, as a managed agricultural species worldwide, but also as a potential threat to endangered wild pollinators. This has resulted in the suggestion that honey bees should be regulated in natural areas to conserve wild pollinators.

Native flora receive more visits than exotics from bees, especially native bees, in an urbanised biodiversity hotspot

Pacific Conservation Biology, 2023
Context Identifying floral resources preferred by bee assemblages is important for their conservation. Aims Here, I assess the association of flowering plant community composition, with that of honey bees and native bee abundance and diversity.

Infestation of Japanese Native Honey Bees by Tracheal Mite and Virus from Non-native European Honey Bees in Japan

Microbial Ecology, 2011
Invasion of alien species has been shown to cause detrimental effects on habitats of native species. Insect pollinators represent such examples; the introduction of commercial bumble bee species for crop pollination has resulted in competition for an ecological niche with native species, genetic disturbance caused by mating with native species, and ...

Native pollinators: how to protect and enhance habitat for native bees

Native Plants Journal, 2008
The success of all restoration efforts—and indeed, of life as we know it—depends on a healthy and diverse population of native pollinators. Pollinators are critical for seed production and the perpetuation of native plants (and our food crops). Bees are our most important pollinators in North America.

Getting it right for native wild bees

Bee World, 1998
The public hold, simultaneously, the conflicting views that bees are nasty hairy stinging beasts to be swatted before they can do any harm, and that bees are nice cuddly things that pollinate flowers, make honey and are symbolic of summer days.
