I live in Iowa, USA, where we plant 11 million acres in soybeans per year, almost a third of our total area.  I have read that some data indicate bees pollinate beans, and in so doing increase yields, but apparently there is some uncertainty about this.  Can anyone fill me in?  Any recent research?
Thanks
