Optimal foraging in bumblebees: rule of movement between flowers within inflorescences

Abstract

It is hypothesized that nectar-collecting bumblebees will be found to forage in ways that maximize their net rate of energy intake, and the manner in which they move from one flower to another within inflorescence is focused on.
