LIMITED CROSS PLANT MOVEMENT AND NON-CROP PREFERENCES REDUCE THE EFFICIENCY OF HONEY BEES AS POLLINATORS OF HYBRID CARROT SEED CROPS

Limited Cross Plant Movement and Non-Crop Preferences Reduce the Efficiency of Honey Bees as Pollinators of Hybrid Carrot Seed Crops

Pollination rates in hybrid carrot crops remain limited after introduction of honey bee hives.In this study, honey bee foraging behaviour was observed in commercial hybrid carrot seed crops.Significantly more visits were made to male-fertile (MF) rather than cytoplasmically male-sterile (CMS) flowers.Pollen was collected from bees returning to a hi
