Just like with other herding activities. </p><p><💬><br> • Honeybee temporal removal on a small island increased nectar and pollen availability<br> • Without honeybees, wild bees increased activity and changed hourly patterns<br> • Without honeybees, wild bees increased nectar intake and optimized search time<br> • Wild bee abundance declined ∼80% in 4 years, supporting trophic competition<br></💬></p><p><a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0960982225002623" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">sciencedirect.com/science/arti</span><span class="invisible">cle/pii/S0960982225002623</span></a></p><p><a href="https://veganism.social/tags/bees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bees</span></a> <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/wildbees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>wildbees</span></a> <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/livestock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>livestock</span></a> <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/animalFarming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>animalFarming</span></a> <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/pastoralism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pastoralism</span></a> <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/nectar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>nectar</span></a> <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/unsustainable" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>unsustainable</span></a></p>
