Effects of different artificial diets on commercial honey bee colony performance, health biomarkers, and gut microbiota

Vincent A. Ricigliano et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of different artificial diets on honey bee colonies. The results showed that diets containing pollen had a positive effect on colony and individual bee growth, while diets without pollen also resulted in larger colonies. Macronutrient content in the diets was not correlated with colony health, but deficiencies in essential amino acids were related to bee weight and pollination efficiency. Gut microbiota and pathogen levels were influenced by apiary site.

Assessing pollen nutrient content: a unifying approach for the study of bee nutritional ecology

Pierre Lau et al.

Summary: Poor nutrition and landscape changes are key factors causing the decline of wild and managed bee populations. However, the definition of 'poor nutrition' for bees is currently inadequate. Studying and characterizing the nutrient content of different pollen types is crucial for understanding pollen as a nutritional resource. Unfortunately, the use of different analytical approaches has complicated comparisons between studies and blurred our understanding of pollen nutrient content. This study proposes a unified approach for analyzing pollen nutrient content, which will help researchers better study and understand the nutritional ecology of bees and other pollen feeders.

Poison or Potion: Effects of Sunflower Phenolamides on Bumble Bees and Their Gut Parasite

Antoine Gekiere et al.

Summary: This study found that sunflower pollen, despite being detrimental to bumble bee development, did not reduce parasite load. On the other hand, sunflower phenolamides had milder effects on bumble bee development but unexpectedly increased parasite load. The effects of phenolamides may be due to induced physiological stress or alterations in gut microbiota.

Global trends in the number and diversity of managed pollinator species

Julia Osterman et al.

Summary: The cultivation of pollinator-dependent crops has globally expanded, leading to an increased reliance on insect pollination. The abundance and diversity of managed and wild pollinators are declining, posing a threat to sustainable food production. While the Western honey bee is well-monitored, the status and trends of other managed pollinators are less known.

Complex relationship between amino acids, fitness and food intake in Bombus terrestris

C. Ruth Archer et al.

Summary: The study investigated how the ratio of amino acids to carbohydrates in bumble bee diets affects their condition, survival, and ovarian activation. Results showed that high amino acid intake increased body mass, but the blend of amino acids and the ratio in diets did not significantly affect overall ovarian activation or food consumption. However, there were some indications of interactive effects between amino acid blend and ratio on survival and food intake.

Stoichiometric niche, nutrient partitioning and resource allocation in a solitary bee are sex-specific and phosphorous is allocated mainly to the cocoon

Michal Filipiak et al.

Summary: This study showed that different sexes of the solitary bee Osmia bicornis have distinct patterns of resource assimilation, allocation, and excretion. Sexual dimorphism in nutritional limitations due to nutrient scarcity during the larval stage may influence bee population function and should be considered in conservation efforts.

Agrochemicals interact synergistically to increase bee mortality

Harry Siviter et al.

Summary: The study showed that multiple stressors have a synergistic effect on bee mortality, especially when bees are exposed to multiple agrochemicals at field-realistic levels. However, interactions were not greater than additive expectations when bees were exposed to parasites and/or nutritional stressors.

Overview of Bee Pollination and Its Economic Value for Crop Production

Shaden A. M. Khalifa et al.

Summary: The increasing demand for food security due to a growing human population highlights the crucial role of bees in crop pollination. Bees contribute significantly to global food supply by pollinating a variety of crops and face challenges such as climate change, pesticides, and land use. Bee pollination enhances the quality and quantity of fruits, nuts, and oils, playing a significant role in agriculture and economy.

A global-scale expert assessment of drivers and risks associated with pollinator decline

Lynn V. Dicks et al.

Summary: Global attention and efforts are being made to address pollinator decline through national strategies and action plans. The importance of drivers and risks from pollinator decline vary among regions, with a focus on reducing pressure from changes in land use, management, and pesticides. Despite scientific uncertainty, experts evaluated various drivers and risks to human well-being, with perceived risks higher in the Global South.

Are Bumblebees Relevant Models for Understanding Wild Bee Decline?

Guillaume Ghisbain

Summary: This study emphasizes the importance of bumblebees as indicators for the decline of wild bees, highlighting the differences in ecology and resilience between the two groups. It underscores the need for conservation actions that take into consideration a deeper understanding of the ecological diversity in wild bees, as well as the necessity for updated and more extensive sampling of these organisms while also cautioning against extrapolating trends from model species.
