If Honey bees exhibit floral fidelity whereby they collect nectar from the same plants be it OSR, Apple, Hawthorn etc.
How do they decide what flowers to collect Pollen from, With nectar the bees indicate the location of nectar by dancing on the comb be it round dance or waggle dance, How do they know where to collect Pollen is it just the foragers visiting random flowers and collecting what is available. I am aware that they collect pollen when visiting OSR, Apple, Hawthorn, and this can be transferred to foraging bees when returning to the hive as not all of it is packed into their pollen baskets. Is there something in transferring this within the hive that indicates its location.
