Do Apis and non-Apis bees provide a similar contribution to crop production with different levels of pollination dependency? A review using meta-analysis

Camila Nonato Junqueira et al.

Summary: Recent studies show that the richness of pollinators in crop systems can enhance productivity by leveraging functional trait differences between species, advocating for integrated management of both Apis and non-Apis bees for global crop yields. Meta-analysis of 33 published studies indicates that bee pollinators, regardless of being Apis or non-Apis species, significantly increase crop production, especially for crops with high pollination dependency. Both Apis and non-Apis bees play essential roles in maintaining agricultural production.

Larger pollinators deposit more pollen on stigmas across multiple plant species-A meta-analysis

Rita Foeldesi et al.

Summary: Wild pollinators deposit more pollen onto stigmas per single visit than honeybees, with larger pollinators depositing significantly more pollen. There was no significant difference in the amount of pollen deposited between the two methodological approaches, static and active. Further research is needed to quantify the pollination effectiveness of non-bee pollinators.

Rapid measurement of the adult worker population size in honey bees

Stan Chabert et al.

Summary: Changes in agricultural practices have led to a decline in pollination of entomophilous crops, prompting a growing interest in using managed colonies of honey bees to supplement farmlands. This study tested a non-invasive method to estimate the adult population size of honey bee colonies by counting the number of inter-frames covered with adult bees. The method was found to be simple, non-invasive, and robust, providing a reliable indicator of colony size for farmers and beekeepers.

Apple pollination is ensured by wild bees when honey bees are drawn away from orchards by a mass co-flowering crop, oilseed rape

Julia Osterman et al.

Summary: The study found that as the percentage of oilseed rape increased in the surrounding landscape, the number of honey bees visiting apple flowers decreased while other wild bee populations increased, indicating that local wild bee populations may compensate for the loss of honey bees in providing effective pollination services for apple. The research underscores the importance of bees in apple pollination and the need for wild bee conservation to ensure pollination insurance and stability of apple crop yields under changing agricultural policies.

Tracing the Fate of Pollen Substitute Patties in Western Honey Bee (Hymenoptera: Apidae) Colonies

Emily R. Noordyke et al.

Summary: The study found that a portion of adult bees consume pollen substitute patties, but do not directly feed them to larvae or store them like bee bread. Pollen substitute patties serve as a supplement, not a replacement, for natural pollen in terms of larval provisioning and long-term storage.

Reviewing the Efficacy of Pollen Substitutes as a Management Tool for Improving the Health and Productivity of Western Honey Bee (Apis mellifera) Colonies

Emily R. Noordyke et al.

Summary: This review examines the effectiveness of pollen substitutes, showing a mix of positive, neutral, and negative impacts on honey bee colony health. Areas for improvement in pollen substitute research are recommended to enhance the overall health of managed honey bees worldwide.
