DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.16165
Abstract: PREMISE Many flowering plants depend on insects for pollination and thus attract pollinators by offering rewards, mostly nectar and pollen. Bee pollinators rely on pollen as their main nutrient source. Pollen provides all essential micro-… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ps.4756
Abstract: BACKGROUND In recent years, concern has been raised over honey bee colony losses, and also among wild bees there is evidence for extinctions and range contractions in Europe and North America. Pesticides have been proposed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s004420100803
Abstract: Many bumblebee species are declining at a rapid rate in the United Kingdom and elsewhere. This is commonly attributed to the decline in floral resources that has resulted from an intensification in farming practices. Here… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10905-021-09790-0
Abstract: Social insects have high levels of cooperation and division of labor. In bumble bees this is partly size-based, with larger bees performing tasks outside the nest and smaller bees remaining inside, although bumble bees still… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s43188-020-00065-y
Abstract: Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) have been used to diminish the deleterious effects associated with aging by preventing the destruction of cartilage, bone, discs, and skin. The objective of this study was to evaluate the anti-aging effect of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.pestbp.2016.06.007
Abstract: Insects pollinate 75% of crops used for human consumption. Over the last decade, a substantial reduction in the abundance of pollinating insects has been recorded and recognized as a severe matter for food supply security.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/ee/nvab139
Abstract: Abstract Neonicotinoid insecticides are the most commonly used insecticide in the world and can have significant sub-lethal impacts on beneficial insects, including bumblebees, which are important pollinators of agricultural crops and wildflowers. This has led… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jisesa/iead006
Abstract: Abstract Introduced social insects can be highly invasive outside of their native range. Around the world, the introduction and establishment of the eusocial bumblebee Bombus terrestris (L. 1758) (Hymenoptera: Apidae) has negatively impacted native pollinators… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/age.12874
Abstract: The bumblebee, Bombus terrestris, is an important pollinator commercially used on a global scale. The exported subspecies B. t. terrestris has colonised diverse environments, in some cases displacing wild pollinators to the verge of local extinction. In… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/eva.12732
Abstract: Human‐mediated introductions of species may have profound impacts on native ecosystems. One potential impact with largely unforeseen consequences is the potential admixture of introduced with autochthonous species through hybridization. Throughout the world, bumblebees have been… read more here.
