Gustatory sensitivity to amino acids in bumblebee mouthparts
Bees rely on amino acids from nectar and pollen for essential physiological functions. While nectar typically contains low (less than 1 mM) amino acid concentrations, levels in pollen are higher but variable (10–200 mM). Behavioural studies suggest bumblebees have preferences for specific amino acid...
