Microbial Pressure and Social Immunity: Bumble Bees Increase Brood Hygiene After Exposure to a Bacillus thuringiensis‐Based Biopesticide

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
In social insect colonies, diseased or dead brood is identified and removed by workers to prevent the infection of the whole colony. Here, bumble bee larvae exposed to a bacterium (Bacillus thuringiensis ssp. aizawai (strain: ABTS‐1857)) based biopesticide were removed more frequently than wounded or untreated control larvae. This shows that bumble bee

Alternative Nesting Strategies of Polistine Wasps in a Subtropical Locale

open access: yesInsects, 2022
Phylogenetic studies suggest that historically all paper wasps (Vespidae: Polistinae) in North America have tropical origins, but some species have adapted to survive temperate conditions.

Substrate Preference of Black Soldier Fly Larvae Is Influenced by Rearing History

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 6, Page 477-494, June 2026.
BSF larvae were reared under six different conditions: low, medium, or high larval density and on low, medium, and high‐water feeds to investigate feed choice behaviour. Larvae reared under all six conditions preferred substrate colonised by conspecifics. Low‐water feed caused slower larval growth and development.
