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 …

Bumble bees are an important group of insects that provide essential pollination services as
a consequence of their foraging behaviors. These pollination services are driven, in part, by …

Simple Summary Our work shows that bumble bee queens that grew up in a colony infested
by parasites are less likely to survive the winter diapause. However, infection levels in …

Wild pollinators are critical to maintaining ecosystem services and facilitating crop
production, but habitat degradation and resource loss are leading to worldwide pollinator …

Simple Summary Bumble bees live through two phases during their life cycle: single queens
and colonies. Queens enter diapause after mating as a survival strategy to avoid harsh …

Beekeepers experience high annual losses of colonies, with environmental stressors like
pathogens, reduced forage, and pesticides as contributors. Some factors, like nutritional …

In high-latitude environments where seasonal changes include periods of harsh conditions,
many arthropods enter diapause, a period of dormancy that is hormonally regulated …
