摘要

摘要:花粉营养成分是蜜蜂择花的重要因素。我们假设花粉和花蜜质量影响蜜蜂在共花植物物种间的访视。我们还假设土壤肥力的增加增加了花粉的营养含量,从而增加了花的访问量。我们进行了两次实地研究来验证这些假设。第一个实验记录了蜜蜂的分类群:1)蜜蜂Apis mellifera (L.), 2) Bombus ternarius Say, 3) Bombus spp., 4)其他蜜蜂(独居蜜蜂);参观以下植物:向日葵,盖拉迪亚·马塔塔·普斯,博拉戈·巴纳利斯,和白仙花。我们测量了开放花的数量、花冠深度、花径以及花粉和花蜜的营养成分,以确定哪些特征与蜜蜂访花有关。研究发现,不同类群的蜜蜂对四种植物中的一种或几种有优先觅食的倾向,花粉氨基酸谱与蜜蜂、白斑蜜蜂和其他蜜蜂的访花次数有关;花蜜含糖量较高的植物与蜜蜂和蜂类的访巢率呈正相关。在第二个试验中,我们改变了凤仙花(Impatiens capensis Meerb)土壤肥力。通过在盆栽植物中添加肥料,测量随后的花朵产量、花朵形态特征、花粉氨基酸和大黄蜂(Bombus impatiens),以及邻近商业大黄蜂蜂箱的访问量。结果表明,施肥对植物生长、花卉产量和氨基酸含量均有正向影响,而氨基酸含量对大黄蜂访巢率有正向影响。

The Effect of Plant Nutrition on Bee Flower Visitation
Abstract: It has been proposed that pollen nutritional content is the most important factor in the selection of flowers by bees. We hypothesized that pollen and nectar quality affect bee visitation among co-flowering plant species. We also hypothesized that increased soil fertility increases pollen nutritional content and subsequently floral visitation. We conducted two field studies to test these hypotheses. In the first experiment, we recorded the following taxa groups of bees: 1) Apis mellifera (L.), 2) Bombus ternarius Say, 3) Bombus spp., and 4) Other Bees (solitary bees); visiting the following plants: Helianthus annuus L., Gaillardia aristata Pursh, Borago officinalis L., and Phacelia tanacetifolia Bentham. We measured the number of open flowers, corolla depth, flower diameter and nutritional content of pollen and nectar to determine which characteristics were correlated with bee visitation to flowers. We found that bees in different taxa foraged preferentially on one or several of the four plant species, and that pollen amino acid profile was associated with the amount of visitation for honey bees, B. ternarius, and Other Bees; and plants with higher percent nectar sugar content was positively related to visitation for honey bees and Bombus spp. In the second experiment, we varied soil fertility for Impatiens capensis Meerb. (Jewelweed, Family: Balsaminaceae) by adding fertilizer to potted plants and measured subsequent floral production, flower morphological characteristics, pollen amino acids, and bumble bee, Bombus impatiens, visitation from an adjacent commercial bumble bee hive. We found that fertilizer application had a positive effect on plant growth, flower production, and amino acid content, which positively influenced bumble bee visitation rate.
