“Honeybees are relied on as the cornerstone of crop pollination in New Zealand, because hives can be easily managed and monitored. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that they are the most effective pollinator or that they are sufficient on their own”
“Alternative pollinators can make significant contributions by promoting cross fertilisation and by supplementing the base pollination service contributed by honeybees”
