• Pollen and nectar quality drive the major and minor floral choices of bumble bees (2014, background): “Studies usually focus on the bumble bee's host plant use and foraging constancy (Carvell et al. 2006; Connop et al. 2010; Kleijn and Raemakers 2008), or on the pollen nutritive value of several plant species (Hagbery and Nieh 2012; Leonhardt and Blüthgen 2012; Tasei and Aupinel 2008; Vanderplanck…”
• Providing foraging resources for solitary bees on farmland: current schemes for pollinators benefit a limited suite of species (2017, background): “has shown that these sown resources are attractive to a wide variety of common and threatened bumblebees 80 (Carvell et al. 2006; Carvell et al. 2007), and that when present in sufficient quantities they can significantly 81”
• Pollination reservoirs for wild bee habitat enhancement in cropping systems: a review (2017, background): “Studies in Europe compared the attractiveness of flowers to pollinators (Carvell 2002; Carvell et al. 2007, 2006; Fabian 2013; Haaland and Gyllin 2010; Kells, Holland, and Goulson 2001; Lye et al. 2009; Pywell 2005; Pywell et al. 2011, 2006).”
• Sown wildflower strips for insect conservation: a review (2011, background): “The importance of restoring habitats for pollinators in intensively farmed landscapes has therefore often been highlighted (e.g. Carvell et al., 2006b, 2007; Lye et al., 2009; but see Ghazoul, 2005), and pollinators are mentioned as a target group for AES that include sown wildflower strips.”
• Flower-strip agri-environment schemes provide diverse and valuable summer flower resources for pollinating insects (2018, background): “1 3 flower-strips of Europe contained more sown species (about 20 species) and up to 52 spontaneous species (Engels et al. 1994; Bokenstrand et al. 2004; Carvell et al. 2006; Haaland et al. 2011; Hicks et al. 2016; Campbell et al. 2017).”
• Response and effect traits of arable weeds in agro‐ecosystems: a review of current knowledge (2017, background): “The presence and the amount of nectar and pollen provided by the flowers are the rewards searched by arthropods on the flowers, and they thus influence the frequency of visits and abundance of foraging arthropods (Carvell et al., 2006; Pywell et al., 2006).”
