This study uses nanopore metabarcoding to show that formic acid treatment affects Apis mellifera foraging preferences, with control hives foraging from more plant genera.

This study uses DNA metabarcoding to analyze pollen foraging patterns in honey bees across seasons, revealing variation between hives and within a single hive over time.

The paper assesses how antagonistic interactions in plant-pollinator networks affect robustness to pollinator extinctions, finding lower network resilience when antagonism is included.

This study shows that pollinator tongue length and competitive interactions influence floral fidelity in bee communities, with site-level tongue length explaining variation in foraging behavior.
