• Larger pollinators deposit more pollen on stigmas across multiple plant species—A meta‐analysis (2020, methodology): “In our meta-analysis we used the western honey bee Apis mellifera L. as a comparator (‘control’) species, to compare to the other flower visiting taxa because it is the most intensively studied managed pollinator species globally (Hung et al., 2018; Morse, 1991).”
• Significance of Apoidea as Main Pollinators. Ecological and Economic Impact and Implications for Human Nutrition (2020, background): “The honey bee plays a significant role as a pollinator of a wide range of agricultural and wild plant species [1,2].”
