Science - Zoology / hive mounted disseminator | | English term or phrase: pronubial (insect) | Worldwide over 500,000 colonies of B. terrestris (L.) are purchased annually for pollination service on various crops,
predominantly on tomatoes. In addition to pollination and indirect disease control, these pronubial insects may also
perform an active role in preventing disease or pest control by conveying for example microbiological preparations directly
onto flowers or other plant parts. |

3 hrs confidence: insectes nectaricoles
Explanation:
pronubial = attirés par les glandes nectarifères des fleurs, les nectaires.
"Pro-nuptial" s'applique aux fleurs entomophiles qui doivent attirer les insectes pour se reproduire.
"Ann. Rex. Eeol. SYnt 1970 19407-1 by Annual Review Inc. All dem 'nerved
EXTRAFLORAL NECTARIES AND PROTECTION BY PUGNACIOUS BODYGUARDS
Barbara L Bentley
Department of Ecology and Evolution, State University of New York, Stony Brook, NY 11794
Nectar glands are of indirect use by attracting suitable pollinators to Bowers, by luring prey to the digestive apparatus of some carnivorous plants, or by maintaining upon the plant a bodyguard of pugnacious insects which more or less efficiently protect it against certain of its enemies.... "Nuptial" nectary glands are those which attract pollinators ... and "extra-nuptial" nectary glands are those which have no value in this respect....
The subject of extra-nuptial nectar and its relation to ants, is deserving of much fuller discussion. Broadly speaking this class of extra-nuptial nectar glands, by their secretion, attracts to the plants which bear them, hordes of ants (rarely wasps) which constitute a temporary and changing bodyguard, disputing the presence of all other insects with the exception of their protegee the sugar-secreting aphids, coccids, etc, and resisting often furiously and effectively, the onslaught of ruminants and other large animals. That this is a true explanation of the reason for the existence of these structures is generally admitted."

"Un nectaire est une glande nectarifère dont sont pourvus nombre de végétaux.
Les nectaires sont généralement situés à la base des pièces florales (pétales). Ils peuvent également être extra-floraux, et se trouver sur les feuilles, le pétiole ou même sur une tige ou à la surface des fruits. Ces nectaires extra-floraux ont été recensés chez des plantes issues d’au moins 93 familles et 332 genres qui sont visitées par plus de 10 ordres d'insectes1."
