Why honeybees are poor pollinators of a mass‐flowering plant: Experimental support for the low pollen quality hypothesis
PREMISE: Honeybees dominate the flower‐visitor assemblages of many plant species, yet their efficiency in terms of the quality of pollen delivered to stigmas is largely unknown. We investigated why honeybees are poor pollinators of Aloe ferox, a self‐incompatible succulent treelet with large numbers...
