Laboratory rearing of solitary bees and wasps
Insect Science, 2015AbstractEcological experiments often require standardized methods that exclude natural variation and allow manipulation of a single parameter. It has been shown that domesticated honey bee larvae are raisable in a controlled environment. Here we demonstrate that this approach is also transferable to wild solitary bees and wasps without inducing ...

Drivers, Diversity, and Functions of the Solitary-Bee Microbiota
Trends in Microbiology, 2019Accumulating reports of global bee declines have drawn much attention to the bee microbiota and its importance. Most research has focused on social bees, while solitary species have received scant attention despite their enormous biodiversity, ecological importance, and agroeconomic value.

The lifelong effects of anoxia hormesis in solitary bees
Environmental EntomologyAbstract The stimulatory and protective response known as hormesis elicits an often over compensatory response resulting in life-history trait improvements. There are an array of abiotic and biotic agents that have been shown to trigger hormesis; most commonly studied are chemicals, temperature, and low oxygen.

Commentary: Solitary behavior in social bees
Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 1996Professor George Eickwort was killed in an automobile accident on 11 July 1994 (see Wcislo et al. 1994). The preceding manuscript (Eickwort et al. 1996) was essentially complete, except for revisions, up-dating references, and related editorial matters.

Specialization and Foraging Efficiency of Solitary Bees
Ecology, 1979The specialist bee, Hoplitis anthocopoides, foraged for pollen from Echium vulgare, its preferred plant, more efficiently than did four generalist species. Efficiency was measured as the weight of pollen (the larval food) harvested from Echium flowers per unit handling time, divided by the weight of the discrete pollen mass required to rear one ...
