Environmental conditions were observed to strongly influence the honey bee efficiency as pollinator and seed-set varied considerably from year to year.
Resampling of selected locations tested the repeatability of responses of bees to baits.
The proportions of these hydrocarbons increased in extracts of parasitized honey bees.
The book concludes with a very long literature list of 63 pages, suitably cross-referenced, covering the biology and taxonomy of solitary bees and wasps.
During the course of research for this book, 2000 nest sites of selected solitary bees and wasps were 'evaluated and interpreted'.
In these cases, the bees may be opportunistic visitors or facultative pollinators.
How are stingless bee colonies distributed in tropical wet forests?
Since the nocturnal canopy is relatively unexplored, the phenomenon of pollination by nocturnal bees may be commoner than these limited observations suggest.
