Bee Food: The Chemistry and Nutritional Value of Nectar, Pollen and Mixtures of the Two (2011, background): “Similar dependence on a few pollen sources was noted by Keller et al. (2005), based mainly on Swiss studies, and mixed pollens from five plant species were found to be better than single pollens for maintaining honeybee immune systems (Alaux et al. 2010).”
The same, but different: pollen foraging in honeybee and bumblebee colonies (2011, background): “However, unlike honeybees (Keller et al. 2005), bumblebees appear to be able to perceive the quality of pollen.”
Pollen nutrition affects honey bee stress resistance (2012, background): “Similar to other animals, ten amino acids are essential to honey bee development, brood rearing and reproduction (reviewed by Keller et al., 2005 ).”
