In honey bees (Apis mellifera), there is growing evidence that the impacts of multiple
stressors can be mitigated by quality nutrition. Pollen, which is the primary source of protein …

Bumble bees are insect pollinators that play important roles in agricultural and natural
ecosystems. They are social insects, but at the end of the colony's life cycle, the next …

Recently, there has been growing concern about the impacts of metal pollutants on insect
populations, particularly as human societies increasingly rely on metal-based technologies …

Global insect biodiversity declines due to reduced fitness are linked to interactions between
environmental stressors. In social insects, inclusive fitness depends on successful mating of …

Simple Summary Bee declines have been reported worldwide, partly due to parasite spread

Insects require dietary sources of B-vitamins, but relatively little is known about whether they
regulate B-vitamin intake in the same way they regulate other nutrients. Honey bees meet …

Bumble bees are important pollinators for many temperate crops. Because of the growing
demand for food from entomophilous crops, bumble bee colonies are commercially reared …

Sexual reproduction is common to almost all multi-cellular organisms and can be
compromised by environmental pollution, thereby affecting entire populations. Even though …

Hexamerins are members of the hemocyanin superfamily and play essential roles in
providing amino acids and energy for the nonfeeding stages of insects. In this study, we …

Bee populations are facing numerous stressors globally, including environmental pollution
by trace metals and metalloids. Understanding whether bees can detect and avoid these …
