Bumble bee abundance and richness improves honey bee pollination behaviour in sweet cherry

M Eeraerts, G Smagghe, I Meeus - Basic and Applied Ecology, 2020 - Elsevier
Pollination service in agricultural crops increases significantly with pollinator diversity and
wild pollinator abundance. Differences in the foraging behaviour of pollinating insects are
one of the reasons why pollinator diversity and abundance enhances crop pollination. Here,
we focused on the foraging behaviour of honey bees and bumble bees in sweet cherry
orchards. In addition, we studied the influence of bee diversity and abundance on the
foraging behaviour of honey bees and bumble bees. Honey bees were found to visit fewer …
