Foraging task specialization in honey bees (Apis mellifera): the contribution of floral rewards on the learning performance of pollen and nectar foragers
This study compares learning performance between nectar and pollen foraging honey bees, finding that pollen foragers perform worse with sucrose alone but match nectar foragers when pollen is included as a reward.
