While he may be a bee expert,  he certainly is no wizard on efficiency.
Flora constancy would be much more rapid and efficient than random sampling
of flowers.  Looking for a sugar value and volume.  One the maximum caloric
flower is fond,  it is certainly most beneficial on time and effort to
maximize visits to those flowers until that balance has changed.

Many years as a ME and doing simple time studies would show that.
