Highlights
•
The effects of wind on the foraging behaviour of honey bee workers were tested.
•
Foraging rate significantly decreased in higher wind speeds.
•
This was due to increased hesitancy to take off.
•
Flower movement independent of wind had no effect on foraging rate.
•
Wind significantly reduces honey bee foraging efficiency.
