Indeed, the mathematician Karl Pearson said

The importance of bees to our agriculture merits a study into their feeding preferences. Bees pollinate a large proportion of crops and without them there would be a rapid decline in crop production. The connection between bee feeding preferences and flower pigmentation is examined using Viola cornuta. Three color variations were used including dark violet, light violet, and white flowers. Each variation was observed for ten minutes in one minute intervals and this was repeated in ten different trials

In this experiment, we put 20 sowbugs into a container filled half with sand, and half with grass and documented their preference. The results of this experiment show that

relationship, they often have to learn how to combine two different food cultures into one cohesive unit. Couples who have food preferences that are vastly different may have much more trouble reaching a compromise that leaves both of them happy with their diet, especially if one or both partners is unwilling to try new foods.
