Flower visitors to the plants of Newton and the Arnold Arboretum: Can honeybees and native insects coexist?
Non-native honeybees represent a potential threat to our native bees, butterflies and other insects. For the past four years, BU Plant Ecology professor Dr. Richard Primack and his colleagues have been studying flower visitors at over 600 plant species at the Arnold Arboretum and in Newton to determine if honeybees and native pollinators can co-exist.
