Recent research using the Geometric Framework for Nutrition has revealed that forager honeybees who receive much of their dietary EAAs from floral nectar and not from solid protein have relatively low requirements for dietary EAAs. Here, we...

There are many factors, such as low temperature, toxins and diseases that could potentially cause the intake targets of adult and larval bees to shift.
