Widespread occurrence of honey bee pathogens in solitary bees [PDF]
Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 2014 Solitary bees and honey bees from a neighbouring apiary were screened for a broad set of putative pathogens including protists, fungi, spiroplasmas and viruses. Most sampled bees appeared to be infected with multiple parasites. Interestingly, viruses exclusively known from honey bees such as Apis mellifera Filamentous Virus and Varroa destructor Macula-

Laboratory acute contact toxicity test with the leafcutter bee Megachile rotundata
Julius-Kühn-Archiv, 2020 So far little is known about the toxicity of Plant Protection Products (PPPs) to solitary bees other than Osmia spp. as well as the inter- and intra-species sensitivity differences of honey bees and solitary bees.

Scientific American, 1984 For most people the beehive and the intricate social organization of the honeybees that populate it are the hallmark of bee life. In reality more than 85 percent of the some 20,000 bee species are not social but solitary. Each female independently mates, makes her own nest of about 10 brood cells, stocks the cells with food for the young, lays an egg ...

Author Correction: Chronic oral exposure to field-realistic pesticide combinations via pollen and nectar: effects on feeding and thermal performance in a solitary bee. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2021 Pesticide use is one of the main causes of pollinator declines in agricultural ecosystems. Traditionally, most laboratory studies on bee ecotoxicology test acute exposure to single compounds.

Neotropical bee microbiomes point to a fragmented social core and strong species-level effects
Microbiome, 2023 Background Individuals that band together create new ecological opportunities for microorganisms. In vertical transmission, theory predicts a conserved microbiota within lineages, especially social bees. Bees exhibit solitary to social behavior among and/

Phenological mismatches and the demography of solitary bees
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2023 Species respond idiosyncratically to environmental variation, which may generate phenological mismatches. We assess the consequences of such mismatches for solitary bees. During 9 years, we studied flowering phenology and nesting phenology and demography of five wood-nesting solitary bee species representing a broad gradient of specialization ...

High resolution prediction maps of solitary bee diversity can guide conservation measures [PDF]
, 2021 Wild bees are key ecosystem components making their decline a cause for concern. An effective measure to increase wild bee diversity is to enhance plant diversity.

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, 2023 Sowing flower strips along field edges is a widely adopted method for conserving pollinating insects in agricultural landscapes. To maximize the effect of flower strips given limited resources, we need spatially explicit tools that can prioritize their ...
