Wild bee populations are declining due to human activities, such as land use change, which
strongly affect the composition and diversity of available plants and food sources. The …

Highlights•Bees' specific nutritional requirements are partitioned between pollen and
nectar.•Nectar and pollen provide carbohydrates, protein, lipids, and micronutrients.•Bee …

To fuel their activities and rear their offspring, foraging bees must obtain a sufficient quality
and quantity of nutritional resources from a diverse plant community. Pollen is the primary …

Honey bees feed on floral nectar and pollen that they store in their colonies as honey and
bee bread. Social division of labor enables the collection of stores of food that are consumed …

Climate plays a key role in shaping population trends and determining the geographic
distribution of species because of limits in species' thermal tolerance. An evaluation of …

Invasive alien species modify pollinator biodiversity and the services they provide that
underpin ecosystem function and human well-being. Building on the Intergovernmental …

Most research on nutritional effects on aging has focussed on the impact of manipulating
single dietary factors such as total calorie intake or each of the macronutrients individually …

Floral nectar is prone to colonization by nectar-adapted yeasts and bacteria via air-, rain-,
and animal-mediated dispersal. Upon colonization, microbes can modify nectar chemical …

Honey bee colonies, foraging predominantly on a single pollen source, may encounter
nutritional deficits. In the present study, we examined the nutritional resilience of honey bee …

Sufficiently diverse and abundant resources are essential for generalist consumers, and
form an important part of a suite of conservation strategies for pollinators. Honey bees are …
