Flowering & PollinationWill adding honey bee hives always solve a mango pollination problem?
More hives do not guarantee more effective visits to mango flowers. Bees may use other forage, and the locally effective visitors may include several insect groups. Before renting hives, document activity on the actual panicles and discuss local mango experience with the beekeeper. A commercial decision should address a demonstrated limitation and an observable response, rather than treating hive numbers as a substitute for examining the flowers.
