Floral nectar guide patterns discourage nectar robbing by bumble bees. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Floral displays are under selection to both attract pollinators and deter antagonists. Here we show that a common floral trait, a nectar guide pattern, alters the behavior of bees that can act opportunistically as both pollinators and as antagonists ...

Dracula’s mistress: removal of blood-red floral nectar results in secretion of more nectar [PDF]
Plant Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Background and aims – Flowers of Jaltomata quipuscoae (Solanaceae) secrete blood-red nectar that serves as an energy reward and possible attractant to pollinators.

Colony Transport Affects the Expression of Some Genes Related to the Apis mellifera L. Immune System
Sociobiology, 2022 Migratory beekeeping can harm the bee colonies if not executed properly. Here, colonies of Apis mellifera were transported (for one or two hours) or not, following proper technical standards.

Influence of microclimatic conditions on nectar exudation in Glechoma hirsuta W. K [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2005 The nectar production of Glechoma hirsuta W. K. grown under different microclimatic habitat conditions was evaluated by determining the total daily nectar quantity per flower, diurnal dynamics of nectar secretion, the nectar secretion rate, and sugar ...
