Honeybees directly outcompete other flower visitors through interference competition on shared resource

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 6, Page 1258-1272, December 2026.
The outcomes of encounters between honeybees and other flower visitors were observed on two plant species. Pollinators either win, lose or share a resource. Competitive interactions led to greater than expected ‘wins’ for honeybees. The honeybee displaced or gave chase when interacting with another pollinator in at least 20% of winning outcomes ...
