Honey bee nutrition is complex and unique and is not analogous to that of other
livestock/animals, where nutritional needs of specific animals are well understood and …

Pollinator nutrition is a highly complex subject that we are just starting to unravel, from the
multidimensional nature of bee forage (pollen and nectar) to how the abiotic environment …

A reduction in floral resource abundance and diversity is generally observed in agro-
ecosystems, along with widespread exposure to pesticides. Therefore, a better …

Pollen is the primary source of dietary protein for honey bees. It also includes complex
polysaccharides in its outer coat, which are largely indigestible by bees but can be …

Managed honey bee colonies used for crop pollination are fed artificial diets to offset
nutritional deficiencies related to land-use intensification and climate change. In this study …

With 2,000 species currently recorded in Europe, bees are a highly diversified and efficient
group of pollinating insects. They obtain their nutrients from nectar and pollen of flowers …

Floral pollen is a major source of honey bee nutrition that provides them with micro-and
macro-nutrients, including proteins, fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals. Different pollens vary …
