Honey bee (Apis mellifera) colonies benefit from grassland/ pasture while bumble bee (Bombus impatiens) colonies in the same landscapes benefit from non-corn/soybean cropland.

Instead, gyne production was marginally positively correlated with forage land, with which colony weight change and drone production showed a negative trend.

While not significant, developed land showed a positive trend with honey bee colony weight gain across scales, and forage land showed a positive trend with colony weight gain at 6 km ( S2 Table ) and were thus explored further.
