Abstract

The foraging behavior of honey bees, Bumblebees, and leafcutting bees on three Vaccinum crops: lowbush blueberry, highbush blueberry, and cranberry was studied in a greenhouse flight-cage.
Flower handling time, flower visitation behavior, and pollen grain deposition were compared.
Based on these criteria, no single species of bee emerged as the best pollinator for all three crops.
