Wild bee response to forest management varies seasonally and is mediated by resource availability
In many temperate, deciduous forests, long-term management suppression has led to
mesophication (cool, damp, and shaded conditions), resulting in habitat with homogenous …

Stand stage affects wild bee communities in working pine forests
Wild bees provide critical pollination services to both crops and native forest plants.
Evidence suggests that wild bees are declining due to factors such as habitat loss, disease …

Social but not solitary bee abundance tracks pollen protein accumulation in forest canopy gaps
CB Davies, TS Davis - Ecological Entomology, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Forest restoration projects that create canopy gaps can promote floral diversity and may
provide reservoirs for bee–flower interactions. However, periods of bee activity must match …
