Variation of Small and Large Wild Bee Communities Under Honeybee Pressure in Highly Diverse Natural Habitats

During the study, the honeybee effects on wild bees were tested and hypothesized that smaller distances from beehives will increase competitions between honeybees and wild bees, while greater distances will have a deleterious effect on competition. The impact on species richness and diversity was te...
