Abstract
We document honeybees collecting latex from breadfruit in Puerto Rico, a rare interaction that reveals how plant chemical diversity can shape bee foraging, plant-insect dynamics, and evolutionary trajectories---highlighting the role of nonnative species in driving eco-evolutionary change in tropical ecosystems.
