An energetics-based honeybee nectar-foraging model used to assess the potential for landscape-level pesticide exposure dilution

Estimating the exposure of honeybees to pesticides on a landscape scale requires models of their spatial foraging behaviour. For this purpose, we developed a mechanistic, energetics-based model for a single day of nectar foraging in complex landscape mosaics. Net energetic efficiency determined reso...
