For example, while eusocial bees feed upon pollen from colony stores, whether they also consume pollen directly from flowers to meet their own needs or to assess its quality for the broader collective is unknown. We therefore captured wild bumble bee colonies (Bombus bimaculatus and Bombus griseocollis) and tested whether individual workers consumed pollen directly from flowers in a lab-based foraging assay. After confirming the presence of floral pollen in worker crops (i.e., consumption at flowers), in a field setting, we tested alternative hypotheses for the function of this behavior using information about the composition, abundance, and diversity of pollen found in the crops vs. pollen baskets of three species of pollen- and nectar-foraging bumble bees (Bombus bimaculatus, B. griseocollis, and B. impatiens). Consistent with the hypothesis that consuming pollen at flowers reflects sampling, total pollen quantity in crops was consistently smaller than in pollen baskets, and basket pollen tended to be a subset of that found in crops. Further, pollen foragers consumed more and different kinds of pollen than nectar foragers. Pollen consumption at flowers is thus unlikely to be purely incidental or to substantially benefit workers nutritionally. Instead, consuming pollen directly from flowers likely allows foragers to quickly assess pollen quality before collecting it to feed the colony as a whole.</div>","PeriodicalId":8078,"journal":{"name":"Apidologie","volume":"55 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142714194","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the behavioral responses toward parasitism are unknown for most host species. In this study, we investigated the host-parasite interactions and behaviors of the cleptoparasitic bee Triepeolus remigatus when parasitizing the nests of its host, the squash bee Xenoglossa (Peponapis) pruinosa. Using circle-tube behavioral assays and direct observations at a nest aggregation of X. pruinosa, we assessed whether interactions between host and parasite were aggressive, tolerant, or avoidant and characterized the general parasitic behavior of T. remigatus. Our results reveal a lack of aggression between host and cuckoo bees, with interactions primarily characterized by tolerant and avoidant behaviors. Squash bees displayed minimal aggression toward both conspecifics and parasites. Interestingly, despite the absence of aggressive responses, T. remigatus preferred entering nests while the host was foraging, potentially indicating a strategy to avoid the discovery of parasitic visits. Furthermore, field observations provided insights into the parasitic behavior of T. remigatus, revealing primarily rapid visits to host nests without extensive inspection. The limited aggression and short time for nest visits observed in T. remigatus suggest adaptations to optimize parasitic success while minimizing host detection. Overall, our findings contribute to a better understanding of the behavior of open-cell parasites and provide a first accounting of the squash bee behavior when encountering parasitic bees. Further research is needed to elucidate the mechanisms underlying host-parasite coevolution and response to parasitism in ground-nesting bees.</div>","PeriodicalId":8078,"journal":{"name":"Apidologie","volume":"55 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s13592-024-01121-4.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142714195","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The nests occupied the hollow stems. Detailed information on the structure of the nests is presented. Nests had up to 12 linearly arranged cells of translucent cellophane-like lining with various bee stages, with semi-liquid pollen-nectar provisions, or empty with a dry fecal plate at the base. Accumulations of sawdust and empty spaces were also sometimes found. Pollen hosts were studied by palynological analysis of provisions and feces from the nests. To characterize the diet, pollen counts, pollen volumes, and the index of relative importance (IRI) were taken into account. The results show that H. platensis is a polylectic bee, since it collects pollen from genera in at least four different plant families. A predominance of Salix humboldtiana pollen in most samples is interpreted as the result of occasional preference. A parasitoid ichneumonid, Grotea hylaeivora n. sp., was reared from the nests. Large larvae of this parasitoid wasp were found occupying the length of two neighboring Hylaeus cells, within a membranous cocoon separated by disc partitions.

In addition to determining the length of the species’ flagella and flagellomeres, we used scanning electron microscopy to classify the antennal sensilla and to estimate their density. Despite a general decrease in relative flagellum length with increasing body size (intertegular distance), nocturnal bees had longer flagella and flagellomeres than diurnal bees. Moreover, sensilla associated with CO2 detection, mechanoreception, and chemoreception were larger in size, number, and density in nocturnal than in diurnal species.

We used mRNA-seq to profile differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between workers and queens at four development stages (early larvae: 1-day-old larvae; mid larvae: 5-day-old larvae; late larvae: 9-day-old larvae; and 7-day-old adult bee) of Bombus terrestris. When DEGs of different female castes were compared, it was found that there were more DEGs at the mid larval and adult stages than at other stages.

Additionally, the gene expression profiles were observed differently among the four development stages. Comparing one stage to the next showed that, more number of DEGs were found in queens than workers. In the investigation of how gene expression affects larval caste determination, WGCNA showed that five modules were closely associated with larval caste determination. The functions of genes were mainly enriched in energy metabolism and energy production within mitochondria, suggesting that the energy requirements during the larval development process varied between caste determination.

Nurse bees of S. postica were divided into four experimental groups and fed with sucrose syrup containing the compounds for 24 h.

The hypopharyngeal glands of S. postica exhibited a tubuloacinar structure, with unicellular acini approximately 54 µm in diameter. Exposure to fipronil resulted in changes in the organization of the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) and increased area and sphericity of the acini compared to all other groups, as well as a higher presence of proteins in the cytoplasm compared to other pesticides, potentially due to increased food consumption. Bees exposed to glyphosate showed alterations in the mitochondria compared to all groups. The Tween group did not exhibit significant changes in cellular ultrastructure, only a smaller area and sphericity compared to the control group.
