Foraging ranges of solitary bees
Summary Habitat requirements of solitary bees include nesting sites, food resources and nesting material. We used translocation experiments to establish foraging distances and measured foraging trip duration to analyse how solitary bees cope with the distance between nesting sites and suitable food plants in different habitat types.

Specificity Between Lactobacilli And Hymenopteran Hosts Is The Exception Rather Than The Rule [PDF]
Lactobacilli (Lactobacillales: Lactobacillaceae) are well known for their roles in food fermentation, as probiotics, and in human health, but they can also be dominant members of the microbiota of some species of Hymenoptera (ants, bees, and wasps ...

Wild solitary bees and their use of bee hotels in southwest Spain
There is an increasing interest in preserving and, if possible, increasing wild bee populations as evidenced by increasinginvestigations into providing supplemental nesting resources, commonly called bee hotels. The study presented herewas carried out in 2017 and 2018 with two objectives: a) to understand the role that insect refuges could have ...

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 ...

Risk assessment of pesticides involves ecotoxicological testing. In case pesticide exposure to bees is likely, toxicity tests are performed with honey bees (Apis mellifera), with a tiered approach, for which validated and internationally accepted test ...

Growers can do something to attract bees to orchards [PDF]
Far more solitary bees than social bumblebees and honeybees were caught in pan traps in apple trees in 2016. Virtually all the solitary bees were ground nesting bees. Solitary bees require nesting sites and the fruit growers can do something to increase

Integrative Genomics Reveals the Genetics and Evolution of the Honey Bee’s Social Immune System [PDF]
Social organisms combat pathogens through individual innate immune responses or through social immunity—behaviors among individuals that limit pathogen transmission within groups.

Desynchronizations in bee–plant interactions cause severe fitness losses in solitary bees [PDF]
Abstract Global warming can disrupt mutualistic interactions between solitary bees and plants when increasing temperature differentially changes the timing of interacting partners. One possible scenario is for insect phenology to advance more rapidly than plant phenology.

Circulating Tumor Cells in Multiple Myeloma: From Peripheral Clues to Central Insights
CTC offer a minimally invasive widow into systemic myeloma biology, overcoming the sampling bias of bone marrow biopsies. Their prognostic value at diagnosis, potential role in MRD monitoring, and ability to capture clonal evolution highlight them as actionable biomarkers for future precision medicine.
