Foraging behavior and pollinating effectiveness of Osmia cornuta (Hymenoptera: Megachilidae) and Apis mellifera (Hymenoptera: Apidae) on “Comice” pear (2004, background): “Osmia cornuta stocking rates for adequate apple pollination have been estimated at 355– 530 nesting females per ha (Vicens and Bosch, 2000a).”
Relationship between body size, provisioning rate, longevity and reproductive success in females of the solitary bee Osmia cornuta (2006, background): “Under moderate wind and relative humidity less than 95%, O. cornuta females are active at temperatures at least 10–12°C and light intensity at least 200 W/m2 (Vicens and Bosch 2000).”
On managing the red mason bee (Osmia bicornis) in apple orchards (2011, unknown): “Numerous studies exist that describes the potential of native bees as pollinators of crops (Bosch and Blas 1994; Vicens and Bosch 2000; Bosch and Kemp 2002; Bili ń ski and Teper 2004; Ladurner et al. 2004; Giejdasz et al. 2005; Tepedino et al. 2007; Beil et al. 2008; Ladurner et al. 2008; Oliveira…”
Pollination efficiency and foraging behaviour of honey bees and non‐Apis bees to sweet cherry (2019, background): “…that investigate the pollination performance of bees only compare honey bees with one species of bumble bee or solitary bee (mainly Osmia spp.) (Kuhn & Ambrose, 1984; Bosch & Blas, 1994; Willmer et al., 1994; Vicens & Bosch, 2000a; Monzon et al., 2004; Brittain et al., 2013; Zhang et al., 2015).”
Protecting an ecosystem service: approaches to understanding and mitigating threats to wild insect pollinators (2016, background): “…than honeybees (Figure 3; Garibaldi et al., 2014; 295 Jauker et al., 2012; Rader et al., 2013; Stanley et al., 2013; Thomson and Goodell, 2001; 296 Vicens and Bosch, 2000; Woodcock et al., 2013), and that long tongued wild pollinators can 297 effectively pollinate plants that may not be…”
Pollination efficiency of wild bees and hoverflies provided to oilseed rape (2012, background): “This indicates a greater effectiveness of mason bees at the single flower, although fewer flowers might be visited during foraging, as was observed for apple trees and other fruits (Vicens & Bosch, 2000).”
Weather-Dependent Pollinator Activity in an Apple Orchard, with Special Reference to Osmia cornuta and Apis mellifera (Hymenoptera: Megachilidae and Apidae) (2000, background): “The estimated numbers of nesting O. cornuta females necessary to pollinate 1 ha are 750 for almonds (Bosch 1994c) and 530 for apples (Vicens and Bosch 2000), in contrast to 2Ð7 colonies of A. mellifera, with thousands of foragers per colony (McGregor 1976, Free 1993).”
Do sown flower strips boost wild pollinator abundance and pollination services in a spring-flowering crop? A case study from UK cider apple orchards (2017, background): “Therefore, although we did directly not study the contribution of 492 insects on a per visit basis (Vicens & Bosch 2000), positive relationships between 493 fruit set on unmanipulated branches and andrenid bees (final fruit set), and wild 494 insect richness (initial and final fruit set), indicate…”
Pollination services are mediated by bee functional diversity and landscape context (2015, background): “…at a higher rate (Jacob-Remacle 1989; Thomson and Goodell 2001), show a stronger preference for Malus flowers (Johnson 1984, Kendall & Solomon 1973, Vicens & Bosch 2000) and can compensate for honey bees under adverse environmental conditions (Free 1960; Chansigaud 1975; Boyle-Makowski & Philogene…”
