• Pollinator Diversity: Distribution, Ecological Function, and Conservation (2017, background): “…can outcompete native bees and other flower visitors, although this seems to depend upon whether the landscapes are simple and homogenous or complex and heterogeneous in their structure, with regard to the amount of seminatural habitat available for bee foraging (see Herbertsson et al. 2016).”
• Patterns of pollinator turnover and increasing diversity associated with urban habitats (2017, background): “Honey bees might be outcompeting native bees in our system, but the observed negative correlations may be an artefact of contrasting responses to anthropogenic disturbance and landscape heterogeneity (Paini 2004; Herbertsson et al. 2016).”
• Flower-strip agri-environment schemes provide diverse and valuable summer flower resources for pollinating insects (2018, background): “Honeybees can be very competitive for flower resources, reducing the availability of flower resources for wild bee population in a radius up to one km around the apiary (Pyke and Balzer 1985; Paini 2004; Goulson and Sparrow 2009; Herbertsson et al. 2016).”
• Massively Introduced Managed Species and Their Consequences for Plant–Pollinator Interactions (2017, background): “Also detrimental effect of competition for resources between honeybee and bumblebee could be exacerbated by unfavourable climatic conditions (Thomson, 2016) or reduce resources availability in homogeneous landscapes (Herbertsson et al., 2016).”
