Before revision:  This model goes beyond existing approaches by including 1) a flower resource affected by the nectar and pollen extractionby the pollinators, 2) a pollinator growth dynamic which allows competition through short term resource depletion, 3) a probabilistic approach of the foraging behavior, modeling the fact that the pollinator has only a partial knowledge of the resource on its surroundings, and 4) the unique foraging habits of Apis mellifera regarding its election of foraging sites.
