Bumblebees have a rather simple diet of nectar and pollen, which they gather from flowers. They do not make honey in a traditional sense. Honey is produced from the long-term storage of nectar, and the bumblebees do not survive over the winter. However, they are capable of storing their...
nov. is described from south-western Australia, and a new subgenus, Ottocolletes, is established to contain it. The species is remarkable for the relatively enormous head and mandibles of its males. Both sexes were encountered at nesting sites in a dry, winter-wet depression where pollen-...
pollen, andbeeswax. Each of these substances has nutritional or health benefits. In temperate regions, bees hibernate during winter, start production in spring and continue throughout the summer, stop production and revert into the hibernation state in autumn. In hot and tropical regions, pollen ...
When there are fewer resources, pollen provisions will be smaller, leading to smaller offspring (Bosch and Vicens2002; Radmacher and Strohm2010); this in turn impacts fitness because smaller progeny are less likely to survive (Bosch2008; Tepedino and Torchio1982), and if they do survive, large...
Many management practices will differ between amateur and professional groups, and some, such as the addition of pollen traps, are known to induce chronic bee paralysis symptoms35. Our results also highlight that the risk of chronic bee paralysis being recorded during apiary visits was 1.81 (CI ...
Again, A. mellifera has been discussed as possible source of infection because pollen and honey produced by A. mellifera colonies and presumably contaminated with viral particles are used in meliponiculture as a supplemental food source (Ueira-Vieira et al., 2015). ABPV genome detection ...

Bees are one of the most important groups of pollinators of economic crops1,2,3, with both larvae and adults relying on floral products such as pollen and nectar3. Human impacts can reduce the diversity of pollinator assemblages4,5 and therefore can impact pollination efficiency and provision....
