Distinct Intra‐ and Interspecific Foraging Patterns of Stingless Bee Species as a Conservation Tool

Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 5, September 2025.
In this study, we examined the foraging patterns of three rescued stingless bee species in the Bolivian Yungas using melissopalynology and plant–pollinator network analysis. We found distinct floral foraging patterns both within and among three stingless bee species in the Bolivian Yungas, suggesting niche partitioning at multiple levels.

Land Use and Season Interactively Affect Honeybee (Apis mellifera) Body Size and Fat Stores

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.
Habitat fragmentation and loss due to anthropogenic activities have impacted the foraging success of many animals, including pollinators. In this study, we found that summer honeybees in urban and mixed habitats were smaller and had greater wing wear but had larger fat stores compared to those in agricultural areas, where fat stores dropped during the ...
