Patterns of the gene expression profile of Cactus in adult bees fed with control (pollen and sugar syrup), monofloral (anise hyssop), and polyfloral (companion crops) diets during the 84-day experimental period. Means between lines within each sampling date are not significantly different if followed by the same lower-case letter (p > 0.05; Tukey test).
