IMPROVEMENT OF POLLEN EXCHANGE BETWEEN HONEYBEES (APIS MELLIFERA) BY USING HIVE ENTRANCE BRISTLES |
| Authors: | J. van den Eijnde, H. van der Velde |
| Abstract:
A device in front of the hive-entrance, made of ordinary paint bristles of paint rollers, was developed to improve the exchange of pollen between honeybees. It was shown that outgoing bees from hives having this device carry pollen from more plant species than outgoing bees from hives without such a device. | |
