Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation A hummingbird and at least four Bombus species were probably effective pollinators of Aquilegia canadensis.
- Observation Bombus affinis perforated over 90% of nectar spurs on wild plants.
- Observation Insects perforated nectar spurs with mandibles after exploration with antennae, maxillae and tongue.
- Association Nectar foraging varied with flower form and position.
- Association Nectar foraging did not vary with color within one flower form.
- Observation Workers tended to forage in one manner on one plant variety.
- Observation Queens visited up to five flower forms in one flight.
- Observation Neonate workers showed possibly innate perforation behavior not directed specifically at nectar-bearing parts.
- Observation Neonate workers could establish versatile foraging behavior rapidly.
