Widespread occurrence of honey bee pathogens in solitary bees [PDF]

open access: yesJournal 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-

Solitary Bees As Pollinators

2020
Besides the wind, insects are the main pollinating agents and many of them are hymenopterans. However, among the 20,000 species of bees (Superfamily Apoidea), only a very restricted group has been domesticated for commercial crop pollination, including social and solitary species. The honey bee Apis mellifera L.

Evaluating the Effect of Pesticides on the Larvae of the Solitary Bees

Journal of Visualized Experiments, 2021
Current ecological risk assessments of pesticides on pollinators have primarily considered only laboratory conditions. For the larvae of solitary bees, ingestion of provisions contaminated with pesticides may increase the mortality rate of the larvae, decrease the collection rate and the population of adult solitary bees in the next year from a ...

Laboratory rearing of solitary bees and wasps

Insect Science, 2015
AbstractEcological 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, 2019
Accumulating 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 Entomology
Abstract 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.
