"...habitat quality has the potential to decrease or increase viral prevalence in pollinators," new research on bees and wildflowers finds.

Carbon dioxide may calm bumble bees down, but a new study shows it can also trigger other physiological responses, including in reproduction.

Biodiversity is critical to ecosystems, according to a new study that shows how different bee species pollinate the same plants over time.

Alpine bumblebees have adapted to colder temps of the Rocky Mountains, but now climate change warming is threatening these once abundant pollinators.

Pollination of watermelon flowers at fruit farms by wild bees decreased by more than half between 2005 and 2012, report researchers.

The shape of flowers has the biggest effect on how bumblebees acquire parasites, a study shows. The findings could influence what pollinator-lovers plant.

"...plants in fields that were adjacent to pollinator habitat produced seeds that were 6.5% heavier than the seeds from plants in distant fields."

Streptomycin, an antibiotic used on food crops, affects bumblebee behavior, including their cognition and their ability to forage.

Bees exposed to neonicotinoids in both the first and second year had a 72% lower population growth rate compared to bees not exposed at all.
