  1. 1. Competition between managed honeybees and wild bumblebees - Quantifying dietary overlap in semi-natural grasslands

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Centrum för miljö- och klimatvetenskap (CEC)

    Author : Emma Rosberg; [2023]
    Keywords : Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The decline of bees, such as bumblebees, over the last decades raises concerns as they are key pollinators in both agricultural and natural ecosystems. One proposed cause for the decline of wild bees is competition for food resources with managed honeybees. READ MORE

  3. 2. Jämförelse av patogenprevalens hos vilda humlor på olika avstånd från honungsbisamhällen : och skillnader i patogenförekomst mellan olika arter av kommersiella pollinerare

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Julia Carlsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Apis mellifera; Bombus terrestris; vilda pollinerare; patogenprevalens;

    Abstract : Idag minskar den inhemska populationen av pollinerare till följd av klimatförändringar och urbanisering. För att bibehålla den livsviktiga pollineringen används bland annat samhällen av honungsbin (Apis mellifera), vilket antas kunna påverka de vilda humlorna negativt genom exempelvis konkurrens om resurser och patogenspridning.
