Abstract Nest traps are one of the most common methods to study Osmia bees. To elucidate the optimal environmental conditions of nesting sites, we investigated the effects of location, direction, altitude, and sites of nest traps on the rate of trap-nesting Osmia spp.

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 ...

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.

The use of trap‐nests to support crop pollinators in agricultural areas
Ecological Research, 2022Abstract Supporting and promoting invertebrate diversity within agricultural ecosystems has numerous benefits, including the provision of pollination services. Many insects, including wild pollinators, require floral resources for food and structural habitat for nesting.

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 ...

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.

Effect of shading on trap nest utilization by hole-nesting aculeate Hymenoptera
The Canadian Entomologist, 2004For many years, trap nests have been used to study hole-nesting bees and wasps (aculeate Hymenoptera) and to monitor their diversity and abundance (Krombein 1967; Danks 1971; Godfrey and Hilton 1983; Frankieet al.1998). Trap nests are valuable for environmental assessment (Tscharntkeet al.1998) and for agriculture through improved pollination by bees ...

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.

Biology of Dipogon Sayi Banks (Hymenoptera, Pompilidae) in Trap-Nests in Wisconsin
Annals of the Entomological Society of America, 1957Many of the trap-nests placed in the field for research primarily on Megachilidae were found to be utilized by the spider wasp, Dipogon sayi Banks.[2][1] Apparently little has been added to the literature[3][2] on this species since the Peckhams (ISOS) reported on the biology of sayi (= Pompilus calipterus Say) as follows: “It was on the fifth of ...
