Abstract
Two free-foraging colonies of Bombus terricola Kirby were stressed, on alternate days, by removing either their honey or their pollen stores. The amount of pollen taken into the colonies by foragers was significantly greater under pollen stress than under honey stress. This effect was not due to an increase in the number of foraging trips but rather to an elevated rate of pollen acquisition per foraging trip.
