Collective nectar foraging at low reward conditions in honeybees Apis mellifera
The individual behavior of foraging bees was analysed at low-reward conditions within a collective context. This study compared bee's foraging behavior under non-competitive (individual) and highly competitive (collective) conditions. A regular pattern in the visitation, non-visitation times an...
