Open forest successional stages and landscape heterogeneity promote wild bee diversity in temperate forests [PDF]

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, 2022
Recent studies have emphasized forests as crucial habitat for wild bees. In Europe, most forests are managed following the principles of close‐to‐nature silviculture, which combine timber production and nature conservation.

Managed honey bee colony losses in Canada, China, Europe, Israel and Turkey, for the winters of 2008-9 and 1009-10 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
In 2008 the COLOSS network was formed by honey bee experts from Europe and the USA. The primary objectives set by this scientific network were to explain and to prevent large scale losses of honey bee (Apis mellifera) colonies.

Bee aware! Signs of a global decline in wild bee diversity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
There is more to bees than honey: wild bees ensure efficient pollination of most flowering plants and food crops. Yet a recent study counting the number of species recorded worldwide every year suggests a bleak picture, finding a steep reduction in ...

Managed honey bees as a radar for wild bee decline? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Wild and managed bees are essential for global food security and the maintenance of biodiversity. At present, the conservation of wild bees is hampered by a huge shortfall in knowledge about the trends and status of individual species mainly due to their

Possible Spillover of Pathogens between Bee Communities Foraging on the Same Floral Resource

open access: yesInsects, 2021
Viruses are known to contribute to bee population decline. Possible spillover is suspected from the co-occurrence of viruses in wild bees and honey bees.

The Role of Honey Bee Derived Aliphatic Esters in the Host-Finding Behavior of Varroa destructor

open access: yesInsects, 2022
Varroa destructor is an obligate ectoparasite of honey bees and shifted from its original host Apis cerana to the new host Apis mellifera in the first half of the twentieth century. The host shift has resulted in a great threat to the health and survival

Honey bee hives decrease wild bee abundance, species richness, and fruit count on farms regardless of wildflower strips

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Pollinator refuges such as wildflower strips are planted on farms with the goals of mitigating wild pollinator declines and promoting crop pollination services.

Neonicotinoid Sunflower Seed Treatment, While Not Detected in Pollen and Nectar, Still Impacts Wild Bees and Crop Yield

open access: yesAgrochemicals, 2023
Neonicotinoid seed treatments are commonly used in agricultural production even though their benefit to crop yield and their impact on pollinators, particularly wild bees, remains unclear.

Environmental variables and species traits as drivers of wild bee pollination in intensive agroecosystems—A metabarcoding approach

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, 2023
Wild bees are known to be efficient pollinators of wild plants and cultivated crops and they are essential ecosystem service providers. However, wild bee populations have been suffering from significant declines in the last decades mainly due to the use ...
