“…Where quantity is concerned, our data confirm the low protein content that has been consistently reported in analyses of bee-collected sunflower pollen (Kleinschmidt and Kondos, 1976;Rayner and Langridge, 1985;Schmidt et al, 1995;Pernal and Currie, 2000;Somerville and Nicol, 2006;Tasei and Aupinel, 2008). Notably, the protein content of bee-collected sunflower pollen was at the bottom of the range for 62 plant species used by beekeepers in south-east Australia (Somerville and Nicol, 2006).…”

“…This will be especially important when bees are foraging on mass flowering crops such as sunflower, and is a compelling reason for allowing weeds and natural vegetation to persist in large-scale agricultural systems (Schmidt et al, 1995;Carvalheiro et al, 2011). …”

“…The consumption of pure maize pollen could led to low brood production (Höcherl et al, 2012), and that can be explained by the low crude protein level. Each of sunflower and sesame when fed by honey bee workers showed no much increase in worker survival than bees fed sucrose water as found by Schmidt et al (1995). They concluded that honey bee colonies in fields of sunflower and sesame should be supplied with additional feeding.…”

“…Poorquality pollen leads to inferior weight gain and less protein or nitrogen content, reduced longevity, and an incomplete development of hypopharyngeal glands (HPG), which in turn reduces royal jelly production, that could impair growth of the larvae and queen (Kunert and Crailsheim 1988;Zaytoon et al 1988;Schmidt et al 1995;Brodschneider and Crailsheim 2010).…”
