秋播菜豆开花初期，花冠基部多数有小孔，表明它们曾被熊蜂掠夺过。抢花的比例随着开花的持续而下降。春季播种的植物的花朵被抢劫的数量略少。没有证据表明，100个品种马里斯珠被盗花的生殖结构受到损害。从第三，第四和第五开花节的田间豆类植物生长在围场边缘附近的住房取样的花，62%被抢劫。随后在这些节上形成的豆荚中，59%来自被抢劫的花。这表明短舌熊蜂对花的掠夺并没有影响其他昆虫的授粉或豆荚的发育。
SummaryMost flowers produced during early flowering of autumn-sown field beans had small holes in the base of the corolla which indicated that they had been robbed by Bombus terrestris. The proportion of robbed flowers decreased as flowering continued. Slightly fewer flowers of spring-sown plants were robbed. There was no evidence of damage to the reproductive structures of 100 robbed flowers of the cultivar Maris Bead. Of the flowers sampled from the third, fourth and fifth flowering nodes of field bean plants growing near shelter at the paddock margin, 62% were robbed. Of the pods which subsequently formed at these nodes 59% were from flowers which had been robbed. This suggests that robbing of the flower by short-tongued bumble bees did not prejudice either pollination by other insects or pod development.
