Abstract

The influence of nectar concentration on the behavior of field bees has been studied extensively by Geo. H. Vansell, Associate Apiculturist, U. S. Department of Agriculture, and to a more limited extent by the author throughout Oregon. Through these studies it has been clearly established that bees show a decided preference for the more concentrated nectars when working in the field.
