| dc.description.abstract | Bumble bees provide the essential ecosystem service of
pollination, aiding in agricultural plant growth and the
biodiversity of native plants. Their populations are
declining globally and increasing bumble bees ’ access
to forage plants in any available landscape is crucial for
their preservation. To address this conservation concern
and inform future land management practices we
explored:
1.What forage plants are available to bumble bees in
select nature preserves and residential properties in
Southwest Michigan?
2.Which plants are visited most frequently
3What floral traits may influence bumble bee foraging
preferences?
4.Do bumble bees prefer native over adventive plants? | en_US |
