Improvement of almond production using Bombus terrestris (Hymenoptera: Apidae) in Mediterranean conditions

2019-12-01

Abstract excerpt

Almond trees are one of the most important crops in the Balearic Islands. The pollination of almonds is limited to the activity of insects, and cross‐pollination is necessary for fruit development. Currently, honey bees and wild bee populations are declining considerably due to multiple causes, such as the use of pesticides, diseases and habitat loss. An alternative to increase the almond production is the use of...
