How One Entomologist Learned to Appreciate the Little Things (Microbes) in Life
Meet Jake Cecala, Ph.D., postdoctoral researcher at the University of California, Davis, studying bee-microbe associations and subject of the next installment of our "Standout Early Career Professionals" series.

Rising Temps Put Foraging Bees at Risk of Overheating
The more pollen a bumble bee carries, the higher its body temperature rises, a new study confirms. As average temperatures rise amid climate change, bees and their pollination services in natural ecosystems could be threatened.

Insects on a Plane: How Eusocial Ants, Bees, and Wasps Deal With Viruses
A new review looks at innate immunity and superorganism-level social immunity as defenses against immune challenge by viruses in eusocial ants, bees, and wasps.

From Trash to Treasure: How Bee Bycatch Can Advance Ecological Research, Collaborations
In many agricultural settings, insect pest traps can also attract bees. In a new report, a group of researchers examine ways to reduce bee bycatch in pest traps while also exploring how bee bycatch can aid in assessing bee biodiversity, population levels, range shifts, and more.
