Abstract

The drivers influencing how bees nest, either in horizontal or vertical faces, remain unclear. Here, we discuss two new examples of bees that typically prefer vertical faces, nesting horizontally when under cover.

Die treibenden Faktoren, die beeinflussen, wie Bienen nisten, ob in horizontalen oder vertikalen Flächen, bleiben unklar. Hier werden beispielhaft zwei Bienenarten neu diskutiert, die normalerweise vertikale Flächen bevorzugen, aber horizontal nisten, wenn sie geschützt sind.
