Amino acid and carbohydrate tradeoffs by honey bee nectar foragers and their implications for plant-pollinator interactions

This study examines honey bee forager preferences for amino acids in nectar and their implications for plant-pollinator interactions, finding that essential amino acids are preferred and that amino acids can influence foraging behavior and flight performance.
