The recent decline in honeybee health has underscored the danger of relying on a single species to provide vital services. Increasing pollinator biodiversity with native bees may provide biological insurance against...

  • Pollination in Cranberries on the South Oregon Coast: Honeybees

    Creator:
    McKenney, Melissa A., Rao, Sujaya, and Stephen, William P.
    Abstract:
    Many cranberry growers on the Oregon coast are well aware that good pollination is necessary for quality fruit set. Multiple visits to the flower deliver more pollen, which can increase the percentage fruit set, number of seeds per berry, and mature berry weight. The better a bee is at delivering...
