It emphasizes conserving feral bee populations as well as more traditional methods of culturing honeybees and other bees. There are three main sections that address the biology of pollination, culturing and managing bees for optimum crop pollination, and individual crop pollination requirements and ...
In addition to distance between cultivars, the arrangement of cultivars can influence pollen flow and cross-pollination rates (Fig.3). For example, mixing cultivars within the same row may enhance cross-pollination by bees given that many bees including honey beesApis melliferafrequently forage in a...
If this variety were fully self-fertile and capable of autonomous self-pollination, we should observe a similar fruit set, and kernel yield and quality in trees visited as in those not visited by bees. Thirty almond trees of the Independence variety were used in our experiment. Ten trees ...
However, given that bees are the dominant wild pollinators, it is reasonable to assume that the proxy mostly captures the services offered by wild bees. Our estimation strategy is based on a fixed-effects production function model, where pollination is assumed to be an additional input to ...
Crop pollination is typically a four-week process, depending on weather and location. In recent years, crop pollination concern has grown worldwide. This process is naturally done by bees, and the bee population is declining globally. Each tree gets pollinated several times during the pollination...
At the time she was a graduate student at UC Davis, and was delving into concerns that introduced honey bees in croplands used to promote crop pollination might be harming native bee species by competing with them for resources. This competition can deprive wild bees of the pollen and nectar ...
Pollination by bees and other animals increases the size, quality, or stability of harvests for 70% of leading global crops. Because native species pollinate many of these crops effectively, conserving habitats for wild pollinators within agricultural landscapes can help maintain pollination services. ...
