Abstract
The total amount of pollen collected by colonies taken to crops of sweet cherry, field beans and red clover was greatly increased by feeding syrup to the colonies. Hence feeding colonies with sugar syrup increases their pollinating value.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
