Abstract
No bee of either species collected mixed pollen on all foraging trips on the same day, or on each of the 5 days observed. Pollen availability decreased from morning to afternoon, and some pollen foragers of both species then changed to nectar collection, but they resumed collection of the original pollen next morning. The two species showed similar behaviour in pollen foraging, with minor differences.
