Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 4, Page 799-809, August 2026.Many plants retain nectarless flowers; we tested whether these act as “decoys” for bees by making neighbouring rewarding flowers seem more valuable—a cognitive bias known as the decoy effect. The presence of decoy flowers did not shift bumblebee preferences between two equally rewarding inflorescences, and bees quickly learned to avoid these nectarless

Nesting stingless bees in urban areas: a reevaluation after eight years
Sociobiology, 2016 Studies of nesting ecology have proven to be extremely important for stingless bee conservation. These studies have rarely been conducted in urban landscapes, and even fewer have compared species diversity and abundances over time.

Journal of Food Science, Volume 91, Issue 7, July 2026.ABSTRACT Honey adulteration is a prevalent economic fraud that demands robust and reliable detection methods. In this study, a proof‐of‐concept was developed on a comparative study of oscillatory thermorheology (20°C–80°C) and spectroscopic techniques, including UV‐Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy, for the detection of adulteration with glucose ...

Tropical Bee Assemblage Diversity Decreases With Elevation While Body Size Increases
Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 4, July 2026.Photos of bee specimens collected in the Colombian Andes across a nearly 3000 m elevational cline. They are arranged to illustrate both the decline in richness with elevation and the increase in community average body size with elevation. ABSTRACT Elevation gradients are powerful drivers of changes in species composition, richness, and functional ...
