Abstract

SummaryEarlier work had demonstrated that in mixed plantings of Delicious and Golden Delicious apple (Malus domesticus Borkh), the flower structure of Delicious influenced the foraging behaviour of honeybees on Golden Delicious flowers, thereby reducing pollination efficiency. In an orchard composed of Golden Delicious alone, the ‘sideworking’ foraging behaviour observed in mixed plantings was not observed.
