Bees without Flowers: Before Peak Bloom, Diverse Native Bees Find Insect-Produced Honeydew Sugars. August 2017, The American Naturalist.
Joan M. Meiners, Terry L. Griswold, David J. Harris, and S. K. Morgan Ernest
In this publication, we become the first to document insect honeydew use across a community of native bees, and the first to suggest it may be the result of an interspecific foraging network, or the use of opportunistic eavesdropping cues, by solitary bees to find novel sugar sources when floral resources are limited.
