 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.

 This model goes beyond existing approaches by including 1) a flower resource affected by the feedback interaction between nectar extraction, pollination, blossoming and repeated visits, 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.
