SUMMARY
More honeybees visited plots of apple and field beans after these were sprayed with sucrose syrup, but nearly all the bees collected syrup. Fewer bees visited the flowers in sprayed than in unsprayed plots, and less fruit was set. The effect of spraying was very local and did not increase the number of bees visiting the flowers elsewhere on the crop.
