Differential Foraging of Indigenous and Exotic Honeybee (<i>Apis mellifera</i> L.) Races on Nectar-Rich Flow in a Subtropical Ecosystem

Differential Foraging of Indigenous and Exotic Honeybee (<i>Apis mellifera</i> L.) Races on Nectar-Rich Flow in a Subtropical Ecosystem

In the subtropics, agricultural activities such as beekeeping are greatly influenced by environmental challenges. In the desert of Central Arabia, honeybees forage on limited prairies that are affected by adverse weather conditions. Bee colonies reduce their field activities during extremely hot-dry...
