Abstract
[en] Through DNA metabarcoding, the flower pollen foraged by Apis mellifera was analysed to understand the taxonomic and functional diversity and richness of plants foraged by bees in the urban Kanto region of Japan. Predictors such as month, year, and location were found to influence significantly this diversity and richness.
