Bees are adapted for feeding on nectar and
pollen, the former primarily
as an energy source, and the latter primarily for protein and other nutrients.
The
pollen's structure suggests that the plants were pollinated by insects: most likely beetles,
as bees would not evolve for another 100 million years.
They found that the factors that most greatly accelerated the formation of new species were life in extensive mountain ranges (like the Andes and New Guinea Highlands); the evolution of epiphytism (life in the trees); pollination by orchid
bees, moths, or butterflies; and origin of pollinia (packages of hundreds to thousands of
pollen grains dispersed
as a unit).

as the animals flew, the team reported last week at the 70th Annual Meeting of the American Physical Society Division of Fluid Dynamics in Denver.
What matters to most
bee species is the abundance and quality of
pollen — and if an introduced plant, such
as the red vetch, offers more protein - rich food than the natives around it, the

pollen.

as bees.
Bees began specializing
as pollen and nectar feeders and living in social groups about 60 million years ago — their ancient biology was then suddenly expected to keep pace with a barrage of changes that humans had exposed them to over just 200 years.
With shorter tongues the

as a way of disguising this information from competitors [«Honeybees» Espionage Mission,» R&D, October], this may shed light on the puzzle of the bewildering array of human languages.
They found that chronic exposure to the pesticide, at similar levels to those found in agricultural fields, interfered with the vibrations of the

pollen compared to the control
bees.»
Additionally,
as bees and bumble
bees are said to usually groom during flight between flowers [16,41], it should be examined whether grooming behaviour — and thus
pollen distribution in safe sites — differs when
bees groom during flight
as our study is mainly limited to grooming during perching.
In addition, especially for corbiculate
bees (e.g. Apis and Bombus spp.),
pollen is often mixed with liquids, such
as regurgitated nectar and saliva, sticking the
pollen grains together and improving their attachment to the
bees»
pollen basket.
Yet, such information may be particularly relevant for
bees and other pollinators, given their role in global food production; hence, we wished to determine whether Ca has, or could, affect
pollen protein levels using S. canadensis
as a test case.
As a control, six
bees per treatment were caught immediately after the treatment (without having the possibility to groom themselves) and freeze - killed and
pollen was removed and counted (method see above).
It has been hypothesised that specific body areas,
bees can not groom, serve
as «safe sites» for
pollen transfer between flowers.
As soon as pollen is collected and groomed into the bees» transport organs, it is mostly lost for the flowers» pollination [7
As soon
as pollen is collected and groomed into the bees» transport organs, it is mostly lost for the flowers» pollination [7
as pollen is collected and groomed into the
bees» transport organs, it is mostly lost for the flowers» pollination [7].
In order to investigate whether plants use the
bees» safe sites to ensure
pollen transfer, the following experiments were carried out in an indoor flight cage at the example of Salvia pratensis L. and Salvia officinalis L. with laboratory B. terrestris
as well
as with Borago officinalis L. (Boraginaceae) and managed A. mellifera caught in the Botanical Garden (HHU Düsseldorf).
The concept of safe sites for
pollen transfer on
bees» bodies does not put the major role of
bees as pollinators into question, but might focus future research to guidance of
bees on flowers to take favorable positions for safe
pollen transport by means of floral filtering of suitable pollinators [26], morphological match between pollinators and flowers [54] and floral guides [55]
as well
as potential strategies of flower visitors to bypass the flowers» restrictions (e.g.
bees with specialised hairs for
pollen collection from specialised
bee - flowers)[26] or strategies of plants via shifting to non-
pollen collecting pollinators (e.g. birds)[56 — 57,64 — 66].
