Mike, I have a half dozen high bush blueberry bushes in my yard, and I have
seen honey bees on them though as has been pointed out, bumble bees do most
of the work. The flowers are both deep, and dangle such that honey bees
have a bit of trouble with them. They're also bigger flowers than the wild
variety which exacerbates the problem.
