More is less: Mass-flowering fruit tree crops dilute parasite transmission between bees

Parasites influence wild bee population dynamics and are regarded as one of the main
drivers of wild bee decline. Most of these parasites are mainly transmitted between bee
species via the use of shared floral resources. Disturbance of the plant-pollinator network at
a location can hence disturb the transmission of these parasites. Expansion and
intensification of agriculture, another major driver of wild bee decline, often disturbs local
plant-pollinator networks by altering the availability and diversity of floral resources. Mass …
