Competition for apple nectar	Bees are getting competition GAB personal has developed to strong competitors for bees foraging in citrus, apple, oil seed rape, sunflower, maize and melon. Nectar and pollen was collected directly from blossoms without the help of bees. To be honest: we really don't envy the bees for their hard work. However, we were successful in gathering sufficient amounts of nectar and pollen for residue analysis. Thus we can quantify the potential exposition of bees to residues in their food sources. Beside the residue analysis in nectar extracted from bee stomachs or in combs, in pollen and wax, this technique allows the determination of residues in matrices which had not been processed by bees.
