Dear netters I am new to the 'bee world', but I am very much interested in the aspects of competition between Apis mellifera and native bees. I would greatly appreciate if you could indicate references which describe the methodology on how to evaluate the impact of the honeybee on native pollinator bees, especially in the neotropics. Thank you so much in advance for your attention. Sincerely, Carlos Flechtmann -- Carlos Flechtmann, PhD Department of Plant Protection FEIS/UNESP Av.
