Article Abstract
The genus is currently understudied, with only one described species, , isolated from a flower. In an effort to better understand the microbes that come in contact with native bee pollinators, we isolated and sequenced four additional strains of from native bees in the genera and These genomes range in size from 2,104,494 to 2,316,791 bp (mean, 2,246,664 bp) and contain between 1,860 and 2,167 (mean, 2,060) protein-coding genes.

Climate change threatens biodiversity and ecosystem services around the globe. Despite the importance of native bees as pollinators, there is evidence of global declines, and we know very little about how climate shapes their distributions now and into the future. In the current study, we combined large-scale seasonal field sampling and experimental acclimation to examine whether populations of an Australian bee, Exoneura robusta, vary in their capacity to adapt to different climates.

In such settings, marginal land surrounding airports or in power line corridors may support bees, even with small habitat patches. However, temporal surveys of wild bees are lacking for many urban areas such as the Puget Sound region of western Washington State, USA.

Kiwifruit () is a globally important crop presenting challenges for ensuring cross-pollination. This study aimed to (1) record the entomological fauna visiting flowers; (2) evaluate the visitation frequency of pollinators; and (3) test the use of lavender extract to enhance cross-pollination by honeybees and assess the impacts on fruit quality. Nine species of floral visitors were recorded as pollinators, although the most frequent were the exotic honeybee () and the native bees and .

The bamboo carpenter bee, () , is native to continental China and Taiwan, and the species invaded Japan around 2006. The bee utilizes bamboo culm for its nesting and hibernation, thereby causing structural damage to bamboo fencing and sting injuries to humans. Serious economic and ecological impacts were not expected in the early stage of its invasion.

Honey bees are essential pollinators of ecosystems and agriculture worldwide. With an estimated 50-80% of crops pollinated by honey bees, they generate approximately $20 billion annually in market value in the U.S.
