Abstract

Bumblebees, as social species and efficient pollinators, have attracted the attention of researchers and governments all over the world. However, a comprehensive overview of the bumblebee research field is lacking. This study delves into a bibliometric analysis of the recent 25 years of research with bumblebees from 1999 to 2024. Drawing data from 4119 publications in the Web of Science (WoS) database, it showed a steady increase in number of publications in the recent two decades. Countries in North America, Europe and China formed the three main forces. The hotspots and frontiers were related to decline and health of bumblebees, including combined effects related to climate change, agrochemicals, habitat loss and fragmentation, parasites and disease, and monotonous diets and competition. Additionally, based on co-cited references cluster analysis, it was concluded that climate change and pesticides will still be the focus research fields in the future. Overall, this paper serves as an exhaustive resource for individuals and governments working intrigued by bumblebee.

1999-2024年大黄蜂研究热点与前沿：文献计量学分析

大黄蜂作为一种群居物种和高效的传粉者，已经引起了世界各地研究人员和政府的关注。然而，对大黄蜂研究领域的全面概述是缺乏的。这项研究深入研究了1999年至2024年近25年对大黄蜂的研究的文献计量学分析。从Web of Science （WoS）数据库的4119份出版物中提取的数据显示，近20年来，出版物的数量稳步增加。北美、欧洲和中国的国家构成了三股主要力量。热点和前沿与大黄蜂的衰落和健康有关，包括与气候变化、农用化学品、栖息地丧失和破碎化、寄生虫和疾病以及单调的饮食和竞争有关的综合影响。此外，基于共被引文献聚类分析，认为气候变化和农药仍将是未来研究的重点领域。总的来说，这篇论文为那些对大黄蜂感兴趣的个人和政府提供了详尽的资源。
