- 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).”
- Impact of climate change on plant phenology in Mediterranean ecosystems (2010, background): “In insectpollinated trees, warm and dry weather during flowering season favour activity and abundance of pollinator insects (Vicens & Bosch, 2000; Willmer & Stone, 2004) along with a decrease of cold-induced damages in flowers’ buds, fertile flowers or even incipient fruits in those earliest…”
- Environmental factors influencing daily foraging activity of Vespula germanica (Hymenoptera, Vespidae) in Mediterranean Australia (2008, background): “Effect of light The relationship between the initiation and cessation of activity and light has previously been well documented in bees (e.g. Apis dorsata – Abrol, 1987; A. mellifera – Vicens and Bosch, 2000).”
- Bee visitation rates to cultivated sunflowers increase with the amount and accessibility of nectar sugars (2017, background): “The range in honey bee tongue length, 6.3–7.4 mm (Waddington and Herbst 1987), and in measured sunflower corolla length, 4.75–7.0 mm, overlaps such that honey bees with short tongues may be inefficient foragers on sunflowers with long corollas.”
- 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…”
- POLLINATION DEFICITS IN UK APPLE ORCHARDS (2014, unknown): “Recent research, however, has shown that both solitary bees (Vicens & Bosch 2000; Ladurner et al. 2004; Matsumoto et al. 2009) and bumblebees (Thomson & Goodell 2001) can also be effective apple pollinators.”
- Predictive modelling of honey bee foraging activity using local weather conditions (2018, background): “Different bee species also prefer to forage at different temperatures (Vicens and Bosch 2000).”
- Relationship between body size, provisioning rate, longevity and reproductive success in females of the solitary bee Osmia cornuta (2006, background): “cornuta females are active at temperatures at least 10–12°C and light intensity at least 200 W/m(2) (Vicens and Bosch 2000).”
- The Economic Value of the Pollination Service, a Review Across Scales (2009, background): “The solitary mason bees are effective pollinators at low temperatures ( 12 oC) when honey bees are not yet active, and they are used for early-blooming fruits like apples and pears (Vicens and Bosch 2000).”
- Species richness of wild bees, but not the use of managed honeybees, increases fruit set of a pollinator-dependent crop (2015, background): “Furthermore, some wild bees including bumblebees have a higher tolerance for cool or inclement weather, which commonly occurs during the springtime bloom of apples (Boyle & Philogene 1983; Vicens & Bosch 2000).”
- Trap nests for bees and wasps to analyse trophic interactions in changing environments—A systematic overview and user guide (2018, background): “…nesting bees were also assessed as pollinators of many other crops including acerola (Oliveira & Schlindwein, 2009), almond (Bosch, 1994), apple (Vicens & Bosch, 2000), sunflower (Parker & Frohlich, 1983) and blueberries (Torchio, 1990), but comprehensively reviewing the many trap nest studies…”
- Humans, bees, and pollination services in the city: the case of Chicago, IL (USA) (2014, unknown): “Solar radiation has been shown to have a positive influence on bees (Vicens and Bosch 2000; Matteson and Langellotto 2010) but, in our study, was negatively correlated with species richness, perhaps due to its negative correlation with human population density.”
