Habitat loss is a primary driver of global biodiversity decline, negatively impacting many species, including native bees.One approach to counteract the consequences habitat through restoration, which includes transformation degraded or damaged habitats increase biodiversity.In this review, we survey bee restoration literature over last 14 years provide insights into how best promote diversity and abundance natural landscapes in North America.We highlight relevant questions concepts consider throughout various stages projects, categorizing them pre-, during-, post-restoration stages.We emphasize importance planning species-and 1 site-specific strategies support bees, providing floral non-floral resources increasing nest site availability.Lastly, underscore significance conducting evaluations long-term monitoring following efforts.By identifying effective methods, success indicators, areas for future research, our review presents comprehensive framework that can guide land managers during urgent time restoration.

Bees are essential pollinators of many crops and wild plants, pesticide exposure is one the key environmental stressors affecting their health in anthropogenically modified landscapes. Until recently, almost all information on routes impacts came from honey bees, at least partially because they were only model species required for risk assessments (ERAs) insect pollinators. Recently, there has been a surge research activity focusing effects non- Apis including other social bees (bumble stingless bees) solitary bees. These taxa vary substantially another several important ecological traits, spatial temporal patterns, foraging nesting requirements, degree sociality. In this article, we review current evidence base about pathways consequences We find that insights into bee resulting across biological organizations, landscapes, mixtures, multiple still infancy.

At least 87% of angiosperm species require animal vectors for their reproduction, while more than two-thirds major global food crops depend on zoogamous pollination. Pollinator insects are a wide variety organisms that diverse biotic and abiotic resources.

More than 30% of human food crop yield requires animal pollination. In addition, successful production depends on agrochemicals to control pests. However, can have negative consequences beneficial insect pollinators, such as bees. We investigated the effects an emerging class pesticides, sulfoximines, common eastern bumblebee, Bombus impatiens. performed a series 96-hour toxicity tests microcolonies laboratory-reared B. Our data showed that sulfoxaflor (SFX) is significantly less toxic impatiens historically used neonicotinoid thiamethoxam. Further, for first time, we found significant differences among castes in sensitivity SFX; workers and drones were more sensitive queens. These findings are notable because they reveal both caste sex-specific bumblebee pesticides. Interestingly, no evidence bumblebees avoid SFX-contaminated sugar syrup. To contrary, had apparent preference syrup over alone. Overall, our investigation provides novel information important pesticide may help inform regulatory decisions regarding use.

Bees rely on pollen and nectar for nutrition, but floral products provide more than just macronutrients; many also contain an array of plant secondary metabolites (PSMs). These compounds are generally thought to serve primarily defensive purposes appear promote longevity immune function, protect against disease agents, detoxify toxicants. This review presents a comprehensive overview PSMs, as well some fatty acids, with documented health benefits eusocial bees at ecologically relevant exposure levels the species whose and/or resin known them.
