Description

Bumble bee competition levels are experimentally manipulated in controlled flight cage environments by varying the number of conspecific and heterospecific co-visitors while recording focal bee foraging behavior.

Typical Equipment

• large flight cage
• WeatherPort Shelter Systems Delta Colorado

Output Measurements

• foraging tactic under controlled competition
• tactic constancy response to manipulation
