Evidence for pollinator declines has led to concern that inadequate pollination services may limit crop yields. The global trade in commercial bumble bee (Bombus spp.) colonies provides pollination services for both glasshouse and open-field crops. For example, in the United Kingdom, commercial colonies of nonnative subspecies of the bumble bee Bombus terrestris L. imported from mainland Europe...

Bumblebees are important pollinators for crops and wild flowering plants. Various pesticides have threatened the abundance diversity of bumblebees. In addition to direct sublethal effects, may alter gut microbial communities bees. Imidacloprid flupyradifurone insecticides both bind nicotinic acetylcholine receptor. However, latter was assumed be harmless honeybees can even applied crops. this s...

Bombus terrestris, commonly known as the buff-tailed bumblebee, is native to Europe, parts of Africa and Asia. It is commercially bred for use as a pollinator of greenhouse crops. Larvae pupate within a silken cocoon that they construct from proteins produced in modified salivary glands. The amino acid composition and protein structure of hand drawn B. terrestris, silk fibres was investigated t...

Dünyada sayıca en çok üretimi yapılan bombus türü olan Bombus terrestris arıları hem doğal de kültüre alınmış çiçekli bitkilerin tozlaşmasına önemli katkılar sunmaktadır. Kontrollü koşullarda B. yetiştiriciliğinde çiftleşme ve diyapoz aşamaları diğer tüm aşamalar gibi kritik öneme sahiptir. Bu aşamaların başarılı olmasında kolonilerin ana arıların beslemesinin payı oldukça fazladır. yetiştirici...
