Can Native Plants Mitigate Climate-related Forage Dearth for Honey Bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae)?

Ge Zhang et al.

Summary: Extreme weather events caused by climate change can negatively impact honey bees, as seen in their shift towards drought-tolerant native plants when faced with high temperatures and drought. This response may have implications for the nutritional health of honey bees, highlighting the potential of using drought-resistant native plants to enhance their resilience to climate change.

Row crop fields provide mid-summer forage for honey bees

Mary R. Silliman et al.

Summary: Honey bees provide important services but face health issues. This study investigated the foraging behavior of honey bees in a row crop environment and found that row crop fields are a significant source of summer foraging opportunities for bees.

Pollination by Non-Apis Bees and Potential Benefits in Self-Pollinating Crops

Isaac L. Esquivel et al.

Summary: The diversity and abundance of native bees play an important role in providing pollination services to a variety of crops. While self-pollinating crops can benefit from cross-pollination by insects, there are still contradictory evidence in some systems. Further research is needed to fully understand the relationship between native bee pollinators and crops, including the nutritional benefits of nectar and pollen to the bees themselves.

Time to Integrate Pollinator Science into Soybean Production

Lucas A. Garibaldi et al.

Summary: Increasing soybean productivity can be achieved through pollinator management, but current cultivation practices often overlook biotic pollination. Restoring biodiversity within soybean landscapes and implementing policies to limit agricultural expansion could potentially restore millions of hectares without sacrificing soybean production.

Kentucky Soybean Farmers' Supportiveness of Two Integrated Pest and Pollinator Management Tactics

Hannah J. Penn et al.

Summary: A survey of soybean growers in Kentucky revealed that many of them already implement certain pest management practices but are less willing to adopt strategies like maintaining tree-lined field edges and changing the timing of insecticide sprays due to concerns about increased weed and insect pest spread.

Kentucky Soybean Farmers' Supportiveness of Two Integrated Pest and Pollinator Management Tactics

Hannah J. Penn et al.

Summary: The study surveyed soybean growers in Kentucky to understand their current pest management practices and attitudes towards beneficial insects. While many growers already implement practices beneficial to insects, such as crop rotation and limiting insecticide use, there are concerns about maintaining tree-lined field edges as habitat for natural enemies and pollinators. Further evaluation is needed to assess the trade-offs in weed and insect pest management for on-farm conservation efforts.
