Despite global interest in the role of pollinators for food production, their impact on farmers'
profit, which determines farmers' livelihood and land-use decisions, is unclear. Although …

Pollinator communities are more abundant and diverse in agricultural matrices with more
natural habitat, although the reasons for these correlations remain unclear. It is possible that …

Wild bees form diverse communities that pollinate plants in both native and agricultural
ecosystems making them both ecologically and economically important. The growing …

Foraging behavior is a critical adaptation by insects to obtain appropriate nutrients from the
environment for development and fitness. Bumble bees (Bombus spp.) form annual colonies …

Pollinator-dependent growers seek alternative pollination models as pollination-security
concerns grow. Pollination reservoirs, set-aside bee foraging areas, may offer growers a …
