Figure 10 in An exploratory study of bumble bee (Bombus) phenologies and plant interactions in agricultural landscapes in central Georgia, USA
Figure 10. Average captures per week of Bombus impatiens castes across three sites in 2010 near Athens, Georgia, USA. No individuals of this species were captured during the weeks of 12 April, 19 April, 17 May, 20 September, 27 September. No surveys were conducted during the week of 28 June or 6 September due to a lack of available person-hours, or the 16–30 weeks of August due to inclement weather or lack of sufficient bumble bee observations. Average captures are underrepresented during the following weeks due to limited supplies: 14 June, 12 July, 2 August, 9 August, 13 September, 4 October.
Figure 11 in An exploratory study of bumble bee (Bombus) phenologies and plant interactions in agricultural landscapes in central Georgia, USA
Figure 11. Weekly average captures of Bombus bimaculatus (Bb), B. griseocollis (Bg), B. impatiens (Bi), and B. a-f-p group (Bombus auricomus-pensylvanicus-fraternus, Bafp) across two sites in 2011 near Athens, Georgia, USA. Only one site could be surveyed during the weeks of 22 March–5 April, so total captures are shown for those two weeks. No surveys were conducted during the weeks of 30 May– 13 June due to a lack of available person-hours; or during the weeks of 9–23 May due to inclement weather and/or lack of sufficient bumble bee observations at both sites. Bombus were absent from both sites during the weeks of 23 June–29 September. Surveys were not conducted during the week of 3 October, but the date is included for comparison with Figure 5.

Data from: Contrasting effects of land cover on nesting habitat use and reproductive output for bumble bees
<p><span><span><a name="_Hlk64216363">Understanding habitat quality is central to understanding the distributions of species on the landscape, as well as to conserving and restoring at-risk species. Although it is well-known that many species require different resources throughout their life cycles, pollinator conservation efforts focus almost exclusively on forage resources. In this study, we evaluate nesting habitat for bumble bees by locating nests directly on the landscape. We compared colony density and colony reproductive output for <i>Bombus impatiens, </i>the common eastern bumble bee, across three different land cover types (hay fields, meadows, and forests). We also assessed nesting habitat associations for all <i>Bombus</i> nests located during surveys to tease apart species-specific patterns of habitat use. We found that <i>B. impatiens</i> nested under the ground in two natural land cover types, forests and meadows, but found no <i>B. impatiens</i> nests in hay fields. Though <i>B. impatiens</i> nested at similar densities in both meadows and forests, colonies in forests had much higher reproductive output<i>. </i></a>In contrast, <i>B. griseocollis</i> tended to nest on the surface of the ground and was almost always found in meadows. <i>B. perplexis</i> was the only species to nest in all three habitat types, including hay fields. For some bumble bee species in this system, meadows, the habitat type with abundant forage resources, may be sufficient to maintain them throughout their life cycles. However, <i>B. impatiens</i> might benefit from heterogeneous landscapes with forests and meadows. Results for <i>B. impatiens</i> emphasize the longstanding notion that habitat use is not always positively correlated with habitat quality (as measured by reproductive output). Our results also show that habitat selection by bumble bees at one spatial scale may be influenced by resources at other scales. Finally, we demonstrate the feasibility of direct nest searches for understanding bumble bee distribution and ecology. </span></span></p>
Data from: Revisiting comparisons of genetic diversity in stable and declining species: assessing genome-wide polymorphism in North American bumble bees using RAD sequencing
Genetic variation is of key importance for a species' evolutionary potential, and its estimation is a major component of conservation studies. New DNA sequencing technologies have enabled the analysis of large portions of the genome in nonmodel species, promising highly accurate estimates of such population genetic parameters. Restriction site-associated DNA sequencing (RADseq) is used to analyse thousands of variants in the bumble bee species Bombus impatiens, which is common, and Bombus pensylvanicus, which is in decline. Previous microsatellite-based analyses have shown that gene diversity is lower in the declining B. pensylvanicus than in B. impatiens. RADseq nucleotide diversities appear much more similar in the two species. Both species exhibit allele frequencies consistent with historical population expansions. Differences in diversity observed at microsatellites thus do not appear to have arisen from long-term differences in population size and are either recent in origin or may result from mutational processes. Additional research is needed to explain these discrepancies and to investigate the best ways to integrate next-generation sequencing data and more traditional molecular markers in studies of genetic diversity.
Data from: Age-related mushroom body expansion in male sweat bees and bumble bees
<p>A well-documented phenomenon among social insects is that brain changes occur prior to or at the onset of certain experiences, potentially serving to prime the brain for specific tasks. This insight comes almost exclusively from studies considering developmental maturation in females. As a result, it is unclear whether age-related brain plasticity is consistent across sexes, and to what extent developmental patterns differ. Using confocal microscopy and volumetric analyses, we investigated age-related brain changes coinciding with sexual maturation in the males of the facultatively eusocial sweat bee, <i>Megalopta genalis,</i> and the obligately eusocial bumble bee, <i>Bombus impatiens</i>. We compared volumetric measurements between newly eclosed and reproductively mature males kept isolated in the lab. We found expansion of the mushroom bodies—brain regions associated with learning and memory—with maturation, which were consistent across both species. This age-related plasticity may, therefore, play a functionally-relevant role in preparing male bees for mating, and suggests that developmentally-driven neural restructuring can occur in males, even in species where it is absent in females.</p>
Within-colony transmission of Microsporidian and Trypanosomatid parasites in honey bee and bumble bee colonies
<p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>Parasites are commonly cited as one of the causes of population declines for both managed and wild bees. Epidemiological models sometimes assume that increasing the proportion of infected individuals in a group should increase transmission. However, social insects exhibit behaviors and traits which can dampen the link between pathogen pressure and disease spread. Understanding patterns of parasite transmission within colonies of social bees has important implications for how to control diseases within those colonies, and potentially the broader pollinator community. We used bumble bees (<i>Bombus impatiens</i> Cresson) and western honey bees (<i>Apis mellifera</i> L.) infected with the gut parasites <i>Crithidia bombi </i>(Lipa & Triggiani) and <i>Nosema ceranae </i>(Fries et al.), respectively, to understand how the initial proportion of infected individuals impacts within-colony spread and intensity of infection of the parasites. In bumble bees, we found that higher initial parasite prevalence increased both the final prevalence and intensity of infection of <i>C. bombi</i>. In honey bees, higher initial prevalence increased the intensity of infection in individual bees, but not the final prevalence of <i>N. ceranae</i>. Measures that reduce the probability of workers bringing parasites back to the nest may have implications for how to control transmission and/or severity of infection and disease outbreaks, which could also have important consequences for controlling disease spread back into the broader bee community. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p>

2021 Minnesota bumble bee survey data
<p>Mounting evidence of bumble bee declines has stimulated an interest in monitoring and conservation. Understanding the influence of land use on occupancy patterns of imperiled species is crucial to successful recovery planning. Using detection data from community surveys, we assessed land use associations for seven bumble bee species in Minnesota, U.S.A., including an endangered species (<em>Bombus</em> <em>affinis</em> Cresson). We used multi-species occupancy models to assess the effect of three major land use types (developed, agricultural, and natural) within 0.5 and 1.5 km on occupancy of seven <em>Bombus</em> species, while accounting for detection uncertainty. <em>Bombus</em> <em>affinis</em> was positively associated with developed landscapes at both scales, suggesting that urban areas can provide conservation benefits for this species in the Midwest. Further, we show that <em>B. affinis</em> occupancy and detection are highest in developed landscapes and lowest in agricultural landscapes, representing an inverse relationship with the relative land use ratios of these landscapes in Minnesota. Occupancy of two bumble bee species had strong positive associations with natural landscapes within 1.5 km and two species had strong negative associations with agricultural landscapes within 1.5 km. Our results suggest that best practices for imperiled <em>Bombus</em> monitoring and recovery planning depends upon the surrounding major land use patterns. We provide recommendations for urban planning to support <em>B. affinis</em> based on conservation success in the metropolitan areas of Minneapolis-St. Paul. We also encourage substantial survey effort be employed in agricultural and natural regions of the state historically occupied by <em>B. affinis</em> to determine the current occupancy state.</p>
