Weeds for bees? A review
V Bretagnolle, S Gaba - Agronomy for sustainable development, 2015 - Springer
Agricultural intensification has led to the decrease of the diversity of wild and domestic
pollinators. For instance, honeybees declined by 59% in 61 years in the USA. About 35% of …

Using DNA metabarcoding to investigate honey bee foraging reveals limited flower use despite high floral availability
Understanding which flowers honey bees (Apis mellifera) use for forage can help us to
provide suitable plants for healthy honey bee colonies. Accordingly, honey DNA …
