Transcription
Solitary bee species represent the most diverse group of bees on the planet but it can be quite difficult to successfully rear the larvae under highly controlled conditions. We have created a method for in vitro culturing of solitary bee species,

Fungicide sprays on flowering plants may expose solitary bees to high concentrations of pollen-borne fungicide residues. Using laboratory-based experiments involving in vitro-reared bee larvae, this study investigates the interactive effects of consuming fungicide-treated pollen derived from host and non-host plants.
