Can strategic integration of cultivated pasture legumes into temperate agricultural systems provide stability to honey bee populations and associated industries? by Joanne J. M. Wisdom, Daniel R. Kidd, Megan H. Ryan, Liz Barbour, Alistair Hockey, Gregory R. Cawthray, Kevin J. Foster

“…We found that many southern Australian pasture legumes could provide significant floral resources as well as enhanced temporal and spatial stability for honey bees due to phenological variability and broad adaptation. Honey bees will likely recognise and be attracted to their flowers and other characteristics are comparable, or potentially superior, to red and white clover, such as floret number per inflorescence, floret length, nectar volume and sucrose‐dominance and pollen protein. …”
