Not all flower-visiting animals act as pollinators; some visitors engage in foraging nectar without pollen transfer. The tendency to rob nectar is related to visitors’ morphological traits and rewards per foraging effort, and drivers of this variation within visitor species are largely unknown. Because foraging behavior is affected by foraging experience, we focused on the relationship between the tendency to rob nectar and the foraging experience of each forager. We investigated five consecutive visits of European honeybee,Apis melliferaL., on comfrey,Symphytum officinaleL., in Japan. We estimated the foraging experience ofA. melliferausing wing wear, categorized into six groups. Approximately 60% and 40% ofA. melliferaforagers engaged in legitimate visits and nectar robbing, respectively. Moreover, mostA. melliferaengaged in only one foraging tactic. The proportion of nectar robbing was related to wing wear and was higher in individuals with extensively damaged wings than those with less damaged wings. The present study suggests that extensively experienced honeybee foragers tend towards nectar robbing.
