The western honey bee (Apis mellifera) is the most frequent floral visitor of crops worldwide,
but quantitative knowledge of its role as a pollinator outside of managed habitats is largely …

The microbiome of the honey bee worker hindgut has been explored thoroughly with
culturing and next-generation sequencing revealing both composition and function …

Pollinator refuges such as wildflower strips are planted on farms with the goals of mitigating
wild pollinator declines and promoting crop pollination services. It is unclear, however …

Climate change is a major threat to agriculture production among small-scale farms
worldwide. Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) is one of the technologies and strategies to …

Most plant–pollinator mutualisms are generalized. As such, they are susceptible to
perturbation by abundant, generalist, non-native pollinators such as the western honey bee …

“The cardoon (Cynara cardunculus) has a far wider range: it now occurs in these latitudes
on both sides of the Cordillera, across the continent. I saw it in unfrequented spots in Chile …

Honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) are the most effective pollinators for different crops and wild
flowering plants, thus maintaining numerous ecosystems in the world. However, honey bee …

Pollination is known to be sensitive to environmental change but we lack direct estimates of
how quantity and quality of pollen transferred between plant species shifts along …

The One Health approach recognizes the interconnectedness between human, animal, and
environmental health. Honeybees (Apis mellifera) embody this framework due to their …

The populations of most pollinators, including honeybees, are declining that heavily affects
both crop and wild plant pollination. Wild bee diversity and habitat type may modulate these …
