Learned olfactory cues affect pollen-foraging preferences in honeybees, Apis mellifera
(Elsevier, 2012-02)
Honeybees, Apis mellifera, show learned odour preferences for flowers that provide nectar as a reward. However, little is known about such behavioural plasticity when bees exploit pollen sources. Furthermore, the question ...
Are Stingless Bees a Broadly Polylectic Group? An Empirical Study of the Adjustments Required for an Improved Assessment of Pollen Diet in Bees
(Springer, 2018)
This research describes simple calculations for pollen diet studies to improve the understanding of bee natural history. The stingless bees (tribe Meliponini) have been classified as broadly polylectic as they utilize more ...
A competição de abelhas noturnas, abelhas do mel e abelhas sem ferrão pelo pólen de plantas de floração maciça
(Universidade Federal de Minas GeraisBrasilICB - DEPARTAMENTO DE BOTÂNICAPrograma de Pós-Graduação em Biologia VegetalUFMG, 2021-11-30)
Mass flowering species, whose flowers open in large amount at the same time for a short period, are known as exceptional sources of pollen for bees. In the mass flowering species with flowers that open at night, during ...
Honeybees generalize among pollen scents from plants flowering in the same seasonal period
(The Company of Biologists, 2019-11)
When honey bees (Apis mellifera) feed on flowers, they extend their proboscis to absorb the nectar, i.e. they perform the proboscis extension response (PER). The presence of pollen and/or nectar can be associated with ...
Assessment of the pollen diet in a wood-dwelling augochlorine bee (Halictidae) using different approaches
(EDP Sciences, 2014-12)
Most studies on bee pollen diet are based on the abundance of each pollen type composing honey or pollen stores of whole nests (pollen counts). In an effort to characterize the diet of the augochlorine bee Augochlora ...
Pollen host selection by a broadly polylectic halictid bee in relation to resource availability
(Springer, 2015-06)
The relationship between utilized and available resources in the same environment has not yet been studied in most wild bees. In a riparian forest, a total of 15 pollen types from 10 plant families were identified from ...
Diversity of aerobic spore-forming bacteria isolated from fresh bee pollen intended for human consumption in Argentina
(International Bee Research Association, 2021-08)
Bee pollen is the result of the agglutination of pollen grains collected from flowers and mixedwith nectar and salivary secretions by honey bees. Bee pollen is a natural product exposed toenvironmental conditions and also ...
