Size variation and foraging rate in bumblebees (Bombus terrestris) (2002, background): “Additionally, the distance between the nest and a forage site can reach 1 to 4 kilometers in B. terrestris (Hedtke, 1996; Walther-Hellwig and Frankl, 2000).”
Bombus terrestris, pollinator, invasive and pest: An assessment of problems associated with its widespread introductions for commercial purposes (2010, unknown): “, 2007); 1,750 m (Walther-Hellvig and Frankl, 2000) to 4 km (Goulson and Stout, 2001; Inari et al.”
Invasion Status and Potential Ecological Impacts of an Invasive Alien Bumblebee, Bombus terrestris L. (Hymenoptera: Apidae) Naturalized in Southern Hokkaido, Japan (2004, background): “…adaptations include: earlier seasonal emergence, particularly of queens (Sladen, 1912; Prys-Jones & Corbet, 1991), longer mean foraging distances (Walther-Hellwig & Frankl, 2000; Ne’eman et al., 2000; Kreyer et al., 2004), and a variety of effectual behavioral skills for nectar and pollen…”
Decline of bumble bees (Bombus) in the North American Midwest (2009, background): “Bumble bees are susceptible to habitat loss due to their relatively limited flight range (Brian, 1954; Walther-Hellwig and Frankl, 2000), long colony cycle (commonly several months), and specific food and nesting requirements (Alford, 1975; Sakagami, 1976; Richards, 1978).”
Mass flowering oilseed rape improves early colony growth but not sexual reproduction of bumblebees (2009, unknown): “…establishment of various mass flowering crops that ideally flower throughout the season (e.g. oilseed rape, Phacelia tanacetifolia, and Trifolium pratense), but also the creation of additional flower-rich semi-natural habitats (Banaszak 1992; Walther-Hellwig & Frankl 2000; Pywell et al. 2005).”
Bee foraging ranges and their relationship to body size (2007, background): “3 Wesserling (1996) in Gathmann and Tscharntke (2002)”
Effects of population size on genetic diversity and seed production in the rare Dictamnus albus(Rutaceae) in central Germany (2004, background): “Walther-Hellwig and Frankl (2000) recaptured high percentages of Bombus terrestris workers at distances up to 1750 m from their nest.”
Interacting effects of landscape context and habitat quality on flower visiting insects in agricultural landscapes (2006, background): “Dispersal distances of bees are generally below 2km (Gathmann & Tscharntke 2002; Osborne et al., 1999; Walther-Hellwig & Frankl, 2000) so that different transects can be considered as independent samples.”
