Native bees, honeybees and pollination in Oregon cranberries

Creator:: McKenney, Melissa A.
Abstract:: Farmers rely almost exclusively on the imported European honeybee (Apis mellifera L.) for fruit and vegetable crop pollination services. The recent decline in honeybee health has underscored he danger of relying on a single species to provide vital services. Increasing pollinator biodiversity with native bees may provide biological insurance against...

Identifying a Ranking of Plant Preferences for a Pollinator

Creator:: Krishna Kumaran, Sneha
Abstract:: Pollinators are an integral part of agriculture and the ecosystem. However, due to changing land use, populations of wild pollinators are decreasing and plant distributions are changing all around the world. To understand how plant-pollinator networks will adapt over time, we would like to understand how pollinators choose flowers to...

Wildfire Severity Has a Minimal Influence on Pollen Diversity Used by Developing Mason Bees (Osmia lignaria) in Mixed Conifer Forest

Creator:: Bell, Nicole C. S.
Abstract:: Native bees are critically important organisms that support biodiversity and crop production via their pollination services. Wildfires in temperate conifer forests can increase bee abundance and flowering plant density due to increased light exposure, but little information is available regarding how wildfire severity influences provisioning to bee offspring, which is...

Evaluating the response of bees to visual attractants in resource-poor environments

Creator:: Parvin, Lucas
Abstract:: Bee populations are declining around the globe, while the need for their pollination services is increasing with growing food demands by an expanding population. There is a need for innovative practices to increase pollination in agricultural environments without harming wild bee populations. However, the use of artificial visual attractants has...

Systematic review of residual toxicity studies of pesticides to bees and comparison to language on pesticide labels using data from residual toxicity studies and USEPA published values

Creator:: Swanson, Leah
Abstract:: BACKGROUND. Residues of pesticides on crops can result in mortality to foraging bees. The likelihood of mortality can be mitigated by applying pesticides in the evening so that their residues dissipate by the following morning when bees resume foraging. The dissipation rates of different pesticides, or their residual toxicity, is...

Attracting Pacific Northwest Pawpaw (Asimina Triloba) Pollinators Through Dual-Use Production Management

Creator:: Burks, Grace A.
Abstract:: Pawpaw is the largest indigenous fruit in North America, native to Ontario, Canada and 26 midwestern and eastern states, yet its high value as a niche crop has been met with limited cultivation in Oregon, Washington, northern California, Idaho, and western Montana (Jones & Layne, n.d.). Cultivation of Pacific Northwest...

Label communication of acute and residual toxicity to honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) on insecticides of high-risk to Oregon hives does not align with federal recommendations

Creator:: Bucy, Matthew T.
Abstract:: BACKGROUND: Training pesticide applicators on how to understand a product’s toxicity to honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) by reading the product label is a way of reducing pesticide exposure to bees. Many applicator resources focus on how to interpret the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s (USEPA’s) recommended language for communicating...

Choose native plants that will help Oregon bee populations thrive in changing urban environments

Creator:: Asselin, Kelley
Abstract:: Bees play a crucial role in pollinating crops, supporting biodiversity, and maintaining ecosystem health. Despite their importance, the decline in bee populations has become a global concern due to various factors including habitat loss, urbanization, and climate change. The purpose of this thesis is to write an article that highlights...

Honey Bees (Apis mellifera) and Agricultural Chemicals: Global to Micro Perspectives

Creator:: Bernert, Ann
Abstract:: Fungicide sensitivity of honey bee associated fungi Abstract - Honey bees are exposed to a wide range of pesticides while pollinating agricultural crops. These pesticides residues are found in beeswax, nectar and pollen in the hive. Some of the pesticides found are fungicides which are not generally considered harmful to...
