Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Dicentra cucullaria flowers were pollinated almost exclusively by Bombus bimaculatus nectar-foraging queens.
- Observation Apis mellifera pollen-foraging workers regularly effected pollination of Dicentra cucullaria.
- Observation Nectar spur perforation by B. affinis did not affect plant fertility.
- Association Nectar spur perforation by B. affinis was related only in part to forager tongue length.
- Association Nectar-foraging behavior of B. bimaculalus queens was correlated with the phenological development of the annual insect colonies.
- Observation Bombus bimaculatus queens were phenologically synchronized in emergence from hibernation with flower anthesis.
- Observation Pollen transfer was effected mainly by the ventral side of the insect's head and anterior thorax, and to a lesser degree by the legs.
- Observation Apis mellifera has no naturally developed pollination adaptation to the flower.
