Figures & Tables

Survival analysis for different feeding regimens.

Black dashed line - highly diverse (HD) pollen diet, blue dotted line - lowly diverse (LD) pollen diet.

Fig. 2

Correlation of daily pollen consumption and daily weight change for (a) highly diverse (HD) pollen diet and (b) lowly diverse (LD) pollen diet).

Fig. S1

Protein content of different pollen diets. HD – highly diverse pollen diet, LD – lowly diverse pollen diet.

Fig. S2

Interaction plot for a) pollen consumption and b) daily bee body weight from day 1–5.

Blue line - highly diverse (HD) pollen diet, orange line - lowly diverse (LD) pollen diet.

Table S2

Characteristics of the pollen used to create different pollen diets. The high diversity (HD) pollen diet was created by mixing all 10 pollen types at equal frequency while the low diversity (LD) pollen diet consisted exclusively of pollen type 1.
