| Description | The efficiency of a pollen trap in trapping kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa) pollen pellets was investigated. The trap had an average daily efficiency of 16.5 and 16.7% on 2 consecutive days. Hourly efficiencies varied between 0 and 25% with the highest efficiency in the middle of the day which coincided with periods of maximum honey bee (Apis melifera) foraging activity. The amount of staminate pollen in foragers' corbiculae was closely related to the proportion of staminate pollen on their body indicating that pellets can be used as a measure of pollination efficiency. |
