Abstract

DNA metabarcoding

floral preferences

heathland

niche overlap

The decline of both managed and wild bee populations has been extensively reported for over a decade now, with growing concerns among the scientific community. Also, evidence is growing that both managed and feral honey bees may exacerbate threats to wild bees. In Australia, there are over 1600 native bee species and introduced European honey bees (Apis mellifera) have established throughout most landscapes. There is a major gap in knowledge of the interactions between honey bees and native bees in Australian landscapes, especially floral resource use.
