Honey bee pollen foraging along an urbanization gradient
In this study, we set up four honey bee apiaries situated along an urban-rural gradient in central Ohio (Columbus). Pollen was collected from colonies on a weekly basis from late spring to late fall in 2013 and 2014. Metabarcoding of the plant trnL, rbcL and ITS2 markers was conducted to identify the botanical origins of the pollen.
