-This paper reviews a century of progress in techniques of bumblebee rearing, starting with those used to encourage bumblebee queens to initiate a colony in artificial domiciles and including those needed for the commercial production of large numbers of colonies for the pollination of agricultural crops. Five species of bumblebees are currently used for crop pollination, the major ones being Bombus terrestris from Eurasia and Bombus impatiens from North America. As a result of their frequent use in foreign territories, there have been reports of B. terrestris becoming established, as well as interactions and/or competition with local (bumble-) bee fauna. Of the many vegetable, fruit and seed crops that bumblebees pollinate, greenhouse tomatoes are of predominant importance. In 2004, 40 000 ha of tomato crops were pollinated, with a crop value of e 12 000 million. The growers benefit from bumblebee pollination because of lower production costs, increased yields, and improved fruit quality. The interrelationship between commercial mechanisms and ecological risks is discussed.bumblebee / pollination / commercial rearing / economic value / ecological impact

“…Puede desplazarse y volver a su nido desde una distancia aproximada de 13 kilómetros, aunque lo frecuente es que forrajeen dentro de un radio de 5 km de su nido (Project Noah, 2013). Ruz & Herrera (2001) encontraron que el tiempo de forrajeo por flores, en vegetación nativa y no nativa, era menor en Bombus terrestris que en Bombus dahlbomii Guérin, el más grande de los abejorros nativos de Chile. El traslapo de la distribución de estas dos especies podría indicar que exista competencia entre ambas especies de abejorros (Montalva et al, 2011).…”

“…terrestris into greenhouses because it is highly invasive (Hingston et al, 2002), could possibly escape from greenhouses, and could have negative effects through competition (Ono and Wada, 1996;Velthuis and van Doorn, 2006;Inoue et al, 2008;Inoue and Yokoyama, 2010), genetic contamination by hybridization (Rhymer and Simberloff, 1996;Ono, 1997;Kanbe et al, 2008) with native bumblebees, or through naturalization (Donovan and Wier 1978;Dafni and Shimida, 1996;Ruz andHerrera 2001, Hingston et al, 2002). The competitive displacement of native pollinators and the invasion of native vegetation by B. terrestris have already been recorded in Tasmania, Australia (Semmens et al, 1993;McQuillan, 1998, 1999;Hingston et al, 2002).…”

The large bumblebee Bombus terrestris, indigenous to Europe and adjacent areas and used extensively for high-value crop pollination, has been artificially introduced to several parts of the world. Here we show the occurrence of interspecific hybridization between the bumblebee species B. hypocrita sapporoensis and B. terrestris under laboratory conditions. The mating and oviposition percentages resulting from the interspecific hybridization of a B. terrestris queen with a B. h. sapporoensis male were higher than those resulting from the intraspecific mating of B. h. sapporoensis. Furthermore, a competitive copulation experiment indicated that the mating of B. h. sapporoensis males with B. terrestris queens was 1.2-fold more frequent than the mating of these males with B. h. sapporoensis queens. The interspecific hybridization of a B. terrestris queen with a B. h. sapporoensis male produced either B. terrestris workers or the B. terrestris male phenotype, and the hybridization of a B. h. sapporoensis queen with a B. terrestris male produced B. h. sapporoensis males. Our results indicated that interspecific hybridization occurred between B. h. sapporoensis and B. terrestris. These results suggest that such hybridization will have a negative competitive impact and will cause genetic contamination of native bumblebees.
