Seasonal and Landscape-Driven Variations in Forage Resources of <i>Apis mellifera scutellata</i>: Implications for Pollination Sustainability and Colony Health in Taita Taveta County, Kenya. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe used DNA metabarcoding to identify nectar and pollen plant species supporting honey bee nutrition across different landscapes and seasons in Taita Taveta County, Kenya. Forage availability was influenced by landscape and season, with exotic species (67%) dominating over native ones (33%), raising concerns about colony health and how the occurrence ...
