Honey Bee Foraging Decisions Influenced by Pear Volatiles

The interactions between plants and pollinators are complex. Flower volatiles as special olfactory cues could influence the foraging choices of pollinators. Here, we conducted bioassays to evaluate the role of flower volatiles on the attraction of honey bees (native <i>Apis cerana</i> an...
