Post-embryonic Development of the Circadian Clock Seems to Correlate With Social Life Style in Bees
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020 Social life style can influence many aspects of an animal’s daily life, but it has not yet been clarified, whether development of the circadian clock in social and solitary living bees differs.

Diverse microbiota identified in whole intact nest chambers of the red mason bee Osmia bicornis (Linnaeus 1758). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Microbial activity is known to have profound impact on bee ecology and physiology, both by beneficial and pathogenic effects. Most information about such associations is available for colony-building organisms, and especially the honey bee. There, active

Gut microbiota variation of a tropical oil-collecting bee species far exceeds that of the honeybee
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 IntroductionInterest for bee microbiota has recently been rising, alleviating the gap in knowledge in regard to drivers of solitary bee gut microbiota. However, no study has addressed the microbial acquisition routes of tropical solitary bees.

EVALUATING SOLITARY BEE NESTING PREFERENCE – DOES THE GROUND COVER MATTER?
, 2023 Solitary bees make up the majority of the world’s 20,000 total species of bees. Over 70% of solitary bees nest underground. Bee fitness is likely determined, in part, by the proximity to appropriate nesting sites. Identifying ground cover management that
