Common Eastern Bumble Bee

<em>Bombus impatiens</em>, the common eastern bumble bee, is a native North American bee in the family Apidae, classified as Least Concern by the IUCN Red List. The species is distributed across Mexico and the United States, typically inhabiting virtually all terrestrial and freshwater biomes within its range, from urban gardens and agricultural landscapes to forests, meadows, and wetland edges. As one of the most abundant and ecologically important pollinators in eastern North America, <em>Bombus impatiens</em> plays a critical role in the pollination of both wild plants and commercial crops, including tomatoes, peppers, and blueberries. It is among the most widely used bumble bee species for commercial greenhouse pollination globally. The species forms annual colonies founded by a single mated queen in early spring, with worker populations typically peaking in midsummer before new queens and males are produced in late summer. Common eastern bumble bees are capable of buzz pollination, or sonication, vibrating their flight muscles at a specific frequency to release pollen from anthers that resist wind or conventional bee pollination. While currently assessed as Least Concern, habitat loss, pesticide exposure, and pathogen spillover from commercial colonies are ongoing concerns for wild populations. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.

ミミグロハチドリ

ハチドリの中で単色または虹色の羽毛が主流な中、珍しく班点や斑点のある下面を持つ中型のハチドリで、コロンビアとベネズエラからボリビア南部まで標高900〜3,000メートルのアンデスの雲霧林と林縁に生息する。班点のある下面パターンは、苔に覆われた樹皮に止まる際に卓越した迷彩効果を提供する。蜜と小型節足動物を採食し、アンデスの着生植物の重要な花粉媒介者として機能する。
