DESCRIPTION:Bees are continually making choices about where and when to fo
 rage for nectar and pollen\, and on which plant species.  Individual forag
 ing bees make these decisions based on their own experience\, and using in
 formation from other bees.  The movement patterns of individual bees\, and
  the consequent spatial and temporal distribution of foragers across the l
 andscape\, affect and define the movement of pollen between entomophilous 
 plants.  This can thus drive patterns of pollination and pollen flow.\n\nI
 n this talk\, I will describe how bees explore and exploit the nectar and 
 pollen landscape\; using data from empirical studies\, tracking individual
  bees\, and also synthesising this information into a modelling framework.
   I will then address the implications for pollination of wild flowers and
  crops\, and for the survival of bees in fragmented landscapes.
