Reproductive success through high pollinator visitation rates despite self incompatibility in an endangered wallflower [PDF]
, 2016 PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Self incompatibility (SI) in rare plants presents a unique challenge—SI protects plants from inbreeding depression, but requires a sufficient number of mates and xenogamous pollination. Does SI persist in an endangered polyploid? Is

Quality Assessment of Bee Pollen: A Cross Sectional Survey in Bulgaria
Journal of Food Quality and Hazards Control, 2018 Background: Due to its nutrient content, a variety of spoilage microorganisms can grow in bee pollen, especially when handling practices are not appropriate. So, this survey was designed to assess the physicochemical and microbiological properties of bee

Bee pollen and its pharmacological properties
Communications Faculty of Science University of Ankara Series C Biology Geological Engineering and Geophysical Engineering, 2018 Bee pollen is a natural honey bee product that is considered a valuable resource for nutrients and energy. It is a health-enhancing value because of its wide variety of primary and secondary plant metabolites and enzymes and co-enzymes. Therefore, bee pollen is especially appreciated by consumers and used as an alternative drug.

The Pollen Collected by Bumble-Bees
The Journal of Animal Ecology, 1951 This study was carried out in western Scotland (Dunbartonshire) where the Bombidae, though numerous, are represented by few species. Bombus lucorum L., B. agrorum Fabricius, B. hortorum L. and B. pratorum L. are all common, the first being perhaps the most abundant. Only two other species, B. terrestris L. and B.
