الوصف
contrast, managed honey bees had a positive response to row-crop agriculture with higher populations and colony health in landscapes with more production of corn and soybean; however, these colonies ultimately declined in the late season, i.e., post-crop senescence. Diversified farming through fruit and vegetable production resulted in small increases in abundance and richness of a subset of the wild bee community during parts of the season. Honey bee colonies and individual bees were healthier on fruit and vegetable farms compared to monocrop soybeans; however, honey bees still declined in the late season. Native perennial habitat was able to mitigate late seasonhoney bee declines and may be a promising habitat type able to support both wild and managed bees in heavily cultivated row-crop agricultural systems. These studies underline the importance of landscape and farm diversity in supporting the health of honey bee (Apis mellifera).
