• Bumblebee Pollination Information For Canadian Fruit Crops

  June 11, 2024

  crops may need to be pollinated via cross- pollination (when varieties do not set fruit by their own pollen). Cross pollination only works if the cultivars [...] Cherries and Apples are all self-incompatible, so they require cross pollinators to cross pollinate with other compatible cultivars. Why bumblebees? They [...] increased pollen deposit from bees. They also get an additional yield boost from cross pollination between different cultivars. Cranberries are self-compatible
