Abstract

Honey bee workers (Apis mellifera L.) collect nectar, honeydew and pollen from plants in orderto provide the colony with, among others, carbohydrates and protein. Whenever these sources are unavailable in the environment, bees turn to alternatives. An example of this are fungi spores collected accidentally or on purpose. This last phenomenon is the aim of this study, in which we have shown that worker bees can collect willow rust (Melampsora spp.) spores. We observed as the bees obtained spores and placed them in pollen baskets. The presence of spores was demonstrated with the use of a scanning electron microscope (SEM). This observation indicates that the honey bee may use alternative sources as a potential supplement. There are few studies in this field and it requires a deeper analysis.
蜜蜂采集柳锈菌孢子(Melampsora Spp.)
蜜蜂工蜂(Apis mellifera L.)从植物中采集花蜜、蜜露和花粉,为蜂群提供碳水化合物和蛋白质。每当环境中缺乏这些来源时,蜜蜂就会转向替代品。偶然或有意收集到的真菌孢子就是一个例子。工蜂可以采集柳锈菌(Melampsora spp.)孢子。我们观察了工蜂获取孢子并将其放入花粉篮的过程。使用扫描电子显微镜(SEM)证明了孢子的存在。这一观察结果表明,蜜蜂可能会将其他来源的花粉作为一种潜在的补充。这一领域的研究很少,需要更深入的分析。
