Bumble bees found in low-quality landscapes with a relative lack of spring flowers and quality nesting habitat had higher levels of disease pathogens, according to new research. The researchers also found the same was the case for bumble bees in areas with higher numbers of managed honey bee hives. The results of the study, which examined how a variety of environmental and landscape characteristics influence infectious disease prevalence and bee health, can be used to inform management practices to support the conservation of bee species that provide essential pollination services in natural and agricultural ecosystems, the researchers say. “Recent worldwide declines in wild and managed bee populations have been attributed to several factors,” says lead author, DJ McNeil, postdoctoral fellow in the Insect Biodiversity Center in Penn State’s College of Agricultural Sciences. “For example, extensive habitat loss and degradation has led to a lack of flowers and nest sites, wh
