Flowering plants and pollinators are in a mutualistic association, where pollinators collect
floral resources and plants receive pollination services. Bees and other pollinators are …

When studying honey bee nutrition, it is important to pay attention not only to the quantity but
also to the quality of pollen for floral visitors. The recommended way to determine the value …

Honey bees and stingless bees are generalist visitors of several wild and cultivated plants.
They forage with a high degree of floral fidelity and thereby help in the pollination services of …

This study investigated the suitability of honey sample collection methods for determining
the botanical origin of honey through palynological analysis. We used three methods to …

The yield of many crops benefits from pollinating insects; thus, recently reported declines in
pollinator abundance and diversity are concerning for global food production. The pollinator …

Given widespread concerns over human-mediated bee declines in abundance and species
richness, conservation efforts are increasingly focused on maintaining natural habitats to …

Dietary nutrients provide fuel for the growth and development of insects as well as chemicals
for their tissue construction. Apis mellifera L., an important pollinator, collects nectar and …

Honeybees (Apis mellifera) depend entirely on floral resources (pollen and nectar) in their
surrounding landscape to satisfy their dietary needs. Honeybee diets in temperate areas …

Simple Summary Flower-visitor communities and plant-pollinator interactions are species-
and region-specific and may vary spatially and temporally. We studied flower visitor …

Stingless bees collect plant latex and resin to produce cerumen and propolis. Cerumen is
primarily used for nest construction, such as brood cells, storage pots, and involucrum …
