Bumble bees can accumulate up to seven times more heavy metals in the pollen they collect and up to three times more of these contaminants in their bodies compared with honey bees.This difference could be due to the smaller foraging range of bumble bees, which may limit their ability to avoid polluted areas, as well as to the greater amount of hair on their bodies.","og:url":"https:\/\/apimondia.org\/fra\/bumble-bees-collect-more-haevy-metals-than-honey-bees\/","og:image":"https:\/\/apimondia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/honey-and-bumble-bees.jpg","og:image:secure_url":"https:\/\/apimondia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/honey-and-bumble-bees.jpg","og:image:width":"1600","og:image:height":"836","article:published_time":"2026-07-09T21:24:43+00:00","article:modified_time":"2026-07-09T21:24:44+00:00","article:publisher":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/apimondiafederation","twitter:card":"summary_large_image","twitter:site":"@apimondia","twitter:title":"Bumble Bees Collect More Haevy Metals than Honey Bees - APIMONDIA","twitter:description":"Even in the same environment, different bee species are exposed to heavy metals to different extents. According to a study carried out at Cambridge University and recently published in Ecological Entomology, bumble bee colonies and honey bee colonies located in the same area collect different amounts of contaminants. Bumble bees can accumulate up to seven times more heavy metals in the pollen they collect and up to three times more of these contaminants in their bodies compared with honey bees.This difference could be due to the smaller foraging range of bumble bees, which may limit their ability to avoid polluted areas, as well as to the greater amount of hair on their bodies.","twitter:creator":"@apimondia","twitter:image":"https:\/\/apimondia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/apimondia-logo-small-1.webp"},"aioseo_meta_data":{"post_id":"3417","title":null,"description":null,"keywords":null,"keyphrases":{"focus":{"keyphrase":"","score":0,"analysis":{"keyphraseInTitle":{"score":0,"maxScore":9,"error":1}}},"additional":[]},"primary_term":null,"canonical_url":null,"og_title":null,"og_description":null,"og_object_type":"default","og_image_type":"featured","og_image_url":"https:\/\/apimondia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/honey-and-bumble-bees.jpg","og_image_width":"1600","og_image_height":"836","og_image_custom_url":null,"og_image_custom_fields":null,"og_video":"","og_custom_url":null,"og_article_section":null,"og_article_tags":null,"twitter_use_og":false,"twitter_card":"default","twitter_image_type":"default","twitter_image_url":null,"twitter_image_custom_url":null,"twitter_image_custom_fields":null,"twitter_title":null,"twitter_description":null,"schema":{"blockGraphs":[],"customGraphs":[],"default":{"data":{"Article":[],"Course":[],"Dataset":[],"FAQPage":[],"Movie":[],"Person":[],"Product":[],"ProductReview":[],"Car":[],"Recipe":[],"Service":[],"SoftwareApplication":[],"WebPage":[]},"graphName":"BlogPosting","isEnabled":true},"graphs":[]},"schema_type":"default","schema_type_options":null,"pillar_content":false,"robots_default":true,"robots_noindex":false,"robots_noarchive":false,"robots_nosnippet":false,"robots_nofollow":false,"robots_noimageindex":false,"robots_noodp":false,"robots_notranslate":false,"robots_max_snippet":"-1","robots_max_videopreview":"-1","robots_max_imagepreview":"large","priority":null,"frequency":"default","local_seo":null,"breadcrumb_settings":null,"limit_modified_date":false,"ai":{"faqs":[],"keyPoints":[],"schemas":[],"titles":[],"descriptions":[],"socialPosts":{"email":{"subject":"","preview":"","content":""},"linkedin":[],"twitter":[],"facebook":[],"instagram":[]}},"created":"2026-07-09 21:24:44","updated":"2026-07-10 01:06:58","seo_analyzer_scan_date":null},"aioseo_breadcrumb":"<div class=\"aioseo-breadcrumbs\"><span class=\"aioseo-breadcrumb\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/apimondia.org\/fra\" title=\"Home\">Home<\/a>\n\t\t<\/span><span class=\"aioseo-breadcrumb-separator\">&raquo;<\/span><span class=\"aioseo-breadcrumb\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/apimondia.org\/fra\/category\/uncategorized\/\" title=\"Highlights\">Highlights<\/a>\n\t\t<\/span><span class=\"aioseo-breadcrumb-separator\">&raquo;<\/span><span class=\"aioseo-breadcrumb\">\n\t\t\tBumble Bees Collect More Haevy Metals than Honey Bees\n\t\t<\/span><\/div>","aioseo_breadcrumb_json":[{"label":"Home","link":"https:\/\/apimondia.org\/fra"},{"label":"Highlights","link":"https:\/\/apimondia.org\/fra\/category\/uncategorized\/"},{"label":"Bumble Bees Collect More Haevy Metals than Honey Bees","link":"https:\/\/apimondia.org\/fra\/bumble-bees-collect-more-haevy-metals-than-honey-bees\/"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/apimondia.org\/fra\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3417","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/apimondia.org\/fra\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/apimondia.org\/fra\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/apimondia.org\/fra\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/apimondia.org\/fra\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3417"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/apimondia.org\/fra\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3417\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3418,"href":"https:\/\/apimondia.org\/fra\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3417\/revisions\/3418"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/apimondia.org\/fra\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3419"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/apimondia.org\/fra\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3417"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/apimondia.org\/fra\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3417"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/apimondia.org\/fra\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3417"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
