Trap-nests for stingless bees (Hymenoptera, Meliponini)
Apidologie, 2012Most stingless bee species build their nests inside tree hollows. In this paper, we present trap-nest containers which simulate nesting cavities so as to attract swarms of stingless bees. Although regularly used by stingless bee beekeepers in Brazil, this technique to obtain new colonies has not yet been systematically studied.

Spillover of trap-nesting bees and wasps in an urban–rural interface
Journal of Insect Conservation, 2014A mismatch of resource availability in certain periods can lead to spillover of insects between habitats, resulting in temporal differences in insect diversity. Urban gardens are important anthropogenic habitats but it is unknown whether, when and why spillover of beneficial insects occurs between gardens and agricultural habitats.

Trap-Nesting Hymenoptera and Their Network with Parasites in Recovered Riparian Forests Brazil
Neotropical Entomology, 2017Different aspects of human activities can cause environmental change that endanger species persistence, alter species distributions, and lead to changes in antagonistic and mutualistic interactions, whereas deforestation and flooding of riparian forest results in landscapes consisting of patchily distributed riparian forest fragments in a matrix of ...

Aculeate Hymenoptera (Hymenoptera, Aculeata) Inhabiting Trap Nests in Crimea
Entomological Review, 2019Trap nests for aculeate Hymenoptera were exposed during 15 years (2002–2016) in 80 localities of Crimea. A total of more than 500 trap nests containing about 25 000 cavities were used. As a result, 6 895 nests of 97 species from 9 families of Hymenoptera were obtained: Pompilidae (5 species / 118 nests), Vespidae (27/1201), Ampulici-dae (1/6 ...

Bee-Rustling on the Range: Trap-Nesting for Pollinators on Public Lands
Natural Areas Journal, 2017A significant portion of world food supply depends on the action of pollinators, which for most crops are primarily domesticated and “wild” bees. Over 75% of pollinator value in the USA accrues through the actions of domesticated honey bees. However, the number of commercial honey bee colonies in the USA has been declining for seven decades due to ...

Biology of Trypoxylon in Trap Nests in Wisconsin (Hymenoptera: Sphecidae)
American Midland Naturalist, 1967Four species of Trypoxylon were collected in sumac trap nests in Wisconsin: T. frigidum Smith, rubrocinctum Packard, striatum Provancher, and tridentatum Packard, the latter being found in one nest only. Nests of each species consisted of a linear series of cells constructed in borings of 3/16-, 1/4- and 5/16-inch diameter.

Biology of Apoidea Taken in Trap Nests in Northwestern Ontario (Hymenoptera)
The Canadian Entomologist, 1965AbstractOsmia atriventris Cr. and Megachile relativa Cr. are the most abundant bees accepting trap nests in the Black Sturgeon Lake area of Ontario. Hylaeus ellipticus (Kby.), H. verticalis verticalis (Cr.), Hoplitis albifrons albifrons (Kby.), and H. cylindrica (Cr.) are common while Hylaeus basalis (Sm.), Osmia proxima Cr., M.
