Can the nutritional geometric framework unveil how macronutrients in pollen shape solitary bee foraging and survival?

The nutritional geometric framework (NGF) hypothesizes that animals forage to achieve specific macronutrient ratios. Pollen, the primary source of protein and lipids for bees, varies in nutritional content across plant species. Studies suggest some bumblebee species forage based on species-specific...
