Citations in the corpus
- Pollen and nectar quality drive the major and minor floral choices of bumble bees (2014, background): “For bees, they represent unique food sources for both adults and larvae (Michener 2007).”
- Assessment of pollen rewards by foraging bees (2017, background): “In addition, nectar often contains solutes such as amino acids, meaning pollinators are able to meet a range of nutritional demands with this reward (for reviews, see Nicolson 2011; Nepi 2014).”
- Floral abundance and resource quality influence pollinator choice (2016, unknown): “Pollen comprises proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, vitamins and minerals (Roulston & Cane, 2000; Nicolson, 2011).”
- Influence of different pollen diets on the development of hypopharyngeal glands and size of acid gland sacs in caged honey bees (Apis mellifera) (2017, background): “Pollen protein content can be used as an index of pollen nutritional value and quality (Nicolson 2011).”
