“…Remarkably, this seems not to be true for honey bees in temperate landscapes. In field studies, local and landscape level flower richness had little effect on the diversity of pollen harvest in honey bees (Colwell, Williams, Evans, & Shutler, ; Danner, Keller, Härtel, & Steffan‐Dewenter, ) and even in the presence of mass‐flowering crops, honey bees were more likely to forage on alternative resources (Garbuzov, Couvillon, Schürch, & Ratnieks, ; Holzschuh et al, ). In fact, honey bees actively recruit nest mates to distant, but diverse semi‐natural resource patches, even when mass‐flowering crops in the vicinity of hives are available (Danner et al, ; Danner, Molitor, Schiele, Härtel, & Steffan‐Dewenter, ).…”
