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.

Honey bee introductions displace native bees and decrease pollination of a native wildflower.
Ecology, 2022 Introduced species can have cascading effects on ecological communities, but indirect effects of species introductions are rarely the focus of ecological studies.

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.

Bee species diversity enhances productivity and stability in a perennial crop. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Wild bees provide important pollination services to agroecoystems, but the mechanisms which underlie their contribution to ecosystem functioning--and, therefore, their importance in maintaining and enhancing these services-remain unclear.

Contrasting Pollinators and Pollination in Native and Non-Native Regions of Highbush Blueberry Production. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Highbush blueberry yields are dependent on pollination by bees, and introduction of managed honey bees is the primary strategy used for pollination of this crop. Complementary pollination services are also provided by wild bees, yet highbush blueberry is

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.
