Analysis of Pollination Services Provided by Wild and Managed Bees (Apoidea) in Wild Blueberry (Vaccinium angustifolium Aiton) Production in Maine, USA, with a Literature Review

Agronomy, 2020
Maine is the largest producer of wild blueberry (Vaccinium angustifolium Aiton) in the United States. Pollination comes from combinations of honey bees (Apis mellifera (L.)), commercial bumble bees (Bombus impatiens Cresson), and wild bees.

Evaluating competition for forage plants between honey bees and wild bees in Denmark.

PLoS ONE, 2021
A recurrent concern in nature conservation is the potential competition for forage plants between wild bees and managed honey bees. Specifically, that the highly sophisticated system of recruitment and large perennial colonies of honey bees quickly ...

Identifying wild bee visitors of major crops in North America with notes on potential threats from agricultural practices

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2022
Considering the critical importance of insect pollination to food security and documented declines in wild bee populations, it is imperative to develop effective conservation and management strategies that promote the health of wild bee communities ...

Sudden collapse of xylophilous bee populations in the mountains of northern Utah (USA): An historical illustration [PDF]

Alpine Entomology, 2022
A scarcity of studies of the dynamics of wild bee populations hampers conservation efforts by bee ecologists and conservationists. Present limited information suggests that bee populations are highly unpredictable from year-to-year.

Bee species diversity enhances productivity and stability in a perennial crop.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Wild bees provide important pollination services to agroecoystems, but the mechanisms which underlie their contribution to ecosystem functioning--and, therefore, their importance in maintaining and enhancing these services-remain unclear.

Molecular and phylogenetic characterization of honey bee viruses, Nosema microsporidia, protozoan parasites, and parasitic mites in China [PDF]

, 2013
China has the largest number of managed honey bee colonies, which produce the highest quantity of honey and royal jelly in the world; however, the presence of honey bee pathogens and parasites has never been rigorously identified in Chinese apiaries.

Optimised Internet of Thing framework based hybrid meta‐heuristic algorithms for E‐healthcare monitoring

IET Networks, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Everything can be connected in the Internet of Things (IoTs) technology that enables efficient communication between connected objects. IoTs industry‐based meta‐heuristic and mining algorithms, which are considered an important field of Artificial Intelligence will be used to construct a healthcare application in this study for lowering costs,

Field-level characteristics influence wild bee functional guilds on public lands managed for conservation

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2019
Throughout the Midwestern US, many public lands set aside for conservation engage in management activities (e.g., agriculture) that may act as stressors on wild bee populations.

Bacterial communities of wild bee species and the western honey bee (Apis mellifera) (Hymenoptera: Apoidea): Alpine insights. [PDF]

J Insect Sci
Wild bees are decreasing in species diversity and populations due to human impact. The abundance of the western honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) experiences an inverse trend, enhancing competition with wild bees and the probability of microbiome exchange ...
