Nosema bombi(Microsporidia: Nosematidae) and Trypanosomatid Prevalence in Spring Bumble Bee Queens (Hymenoptera: Apidae:Bombus) in Kansas [PDF]
Journal of the Kansas Entomological Society, 2014 Abstract Several species of bumble bees are declining in the United States; these declining populations often show higher prevalence of Nosema bombi, a microsporidian pathogen. To date, surveys of bumble bee pathogens in the United States have only been conducted on workers and males, yet the health of a population is ultimately dependent on the ...

Animal medical systems from Apis to apes: history, recent advances and future perspectives
Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2608-2624, December 2025.ABSTRACTAnimal medical systems encompass a wide range of behaviours aimed at maintaining or improving health. It has become clear that these behaviours are not limited to animals treating themselves (self‐medication) but also include the treatment of group members, resulting in the adoption of the more inclusive term “animal medication”. Behaviour with

The State of Beekeeping in India: Insights, Gaps, and Emerging Opportunities
Entomological Research, Volume 55, Issue 10, October 2025.ABSTRACT India's beekeeping industry primarily revolves around two domesticated honey bee species, Apis cerana and A. mellifera, which are central to commercial beekeeping. In addition, there are four wild honey bee species—A. dorsata, A. laboriosa (sympatric with A. dorsata), A. florea, and A. andreniformis (sympatric with A.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2025.Pollination ecology has garnered increasing attention due to its fundamental role in biodiversity conservation and ecosystem services. However, a lack of understanding regarding evolving trends and research shifts poses challenges for addressing emerging ecological questions. Our analysis encompasses the contributions of 223 prominent scientists in the

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 3, Page 303-318, May 2025.The information learned from discovered wild bumble bee nests can be of great conservation value if studied in situ and post‐season excavation in a standardised way. We provide standardised guidance to follow when nest discoveries arise, including key conservation questions and methodological guidelines to study behaviour, floral use, genetics, body ...

Potential expanded pollinator distributions in North America under future climate
Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 2, April–June 2025.Most pollinator species, including monarch butterflies, may gain potential climate space in the future. Shifting to new locations is an additional challenge of climate change. Management, restoration and citizen participation to provide resources and reduce stressors are ecological solutions.
