Honey bee‐collected pollen in agro‐ecosystems reveals diet diversity, diet quality, and pesticide exposure
Abstract European honey bees Apis mellifera are important commercial pollinators that have suffered greater than normal overwintering losses since 2007 in North America and Europe. Contributing factors likely include a combination of parasites, pesticides, and poor nutrition. We examined diet divers...
