The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

The Integument of Water-walking Arthropods: Form and Function (2007, background): “bees have been shown to enhance transfer of pollen grains from the flower (Vaknin et al., 2000).”
Environmental fate and exposure; neonicotinoids and fipronil (2014, background): “This pubescence renders bees more likely to accumulate and retain small particles dispersing in the air, and furthermore creates electrostatic-friction with the air which can enhance the attraction of small particles by bees (Vaknin et al. 2000).”
Pollenkitt – its composition, forms and functions (2005, background): “The pollen adheres to the body by electrostatic forces between insect and the flower (Vaknin et al., 2000).”
The collection of pollen by bees (2000, background): “This topic is reviewed in this volume by Vaknin et al. (2000).”
Planting of neonicotinoid‐treated maize poses risks for honey bees and other non‐target organisms over a wide area without consistent crop yield benefit (2017, unknown): “Third, we do not consider static attraction of particles to the honey bee integument (Vaknin et al. 2000; Tapparo et al. 2012) and use only the forager surface area to calculate intersection between pesticide-laden dust and the bee integument.”
