Overview of Bee Pollination and Its Economic Value for Crop Production [PDF]
Insects, 2021 Pollination plays a significant role in the agriculture sector and serves as a basic pillar for crop production. Plants depend on vectors to move pollen, which can include water, wind, and animal pollinators like bats, moths, hoverflies, birds, bees ...

Honey Bee Pollination of Camellia oleifera and Mitigation of Toxic Crop Nectar [PDF]
InsectsTea oil tree (Camellia oleifera), a woody oil crop native to Southern China, relies on insect pollination for fruit and seed production. However, its nectar is toxic to honey bees (Apis spp.) due to their inability to digest the oligosaccharide present ...

The use of different stingless bee species to pollinate cherry tomatoes under protected cultivation
Sociobiology, 2021 Under standard greenhouse conditions, the tomato fruits of spontaneous self-pollination are expected to be of lower quality than those of bee pollination, as well as that simultaneously use different bee species which can complement pollination services.

Climate-associated phenological advances in bee pollinators and bee-pollinated plants [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2011 The phenology of many ecological processes is modulated by temperature, making them potentially sensitive to climate change. Mutualistic interactions may be especially vulnerable because of the potential for phenological mismatching if the species involved do not respond similarly to changes in temperature.

Research Progress on Efficient Pollination Technology of Crops
Agronomy, 2022 Pollination is essential to maintain ecosystem balance and agricultural production. Domesticated bee pollination, which is easy to feed and manage, and mechanized pollination, which is not restricted by the environment, are considered the main technical ...

Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2022 Insect pollination has been reported to have a better yield quality and quantity than artificial pollination. Wild bees, including stingless bees contribute to effective and efficient pollination on okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.: Malvaceae).

Utilization of Indian Dammar Bee (Tetragonula iridipennis Smith) as a Pollinator of Bitter Gourd
Acta Agrobotanica, 2020 An experiment was conducted to determine the pollination deficit in bitter gourd (Momordica charantia L.) and the effect of the use of Indian dammar bee as pollinator on the yield. Diverse native visitors were recorded during the blooming period.

Influence of plant reproductive systems on the evolution of hummingbird pollination
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Many hummingbird‐pollinated plant species evolved from bee‐pollinated ancestors independently in many different habitats in North and South America. The mechanisms leading to these transitions are not completely understood.
