Flowering & PollinationCan native bees contribute to mango pollination?
Native bees can be part of the mango flower-visiting community, and their movement between trees can make them relevant to pollen transfer. Their presence and usefulness depend on the region and species. Identify visitors locally before making assumptions about management or stocking. Protecting suitable habitat for existing insects is a different decision from importing an unfamiliar bee, which should never be inferred from a report that another region benefited from native pollinators.
