I have visited extensive high bush bueberry plantations in North
Carolina, about forty years ago.
The commercial fields in Nova Scotia are more accessible , and more
familiar to me. To my knowledge, honeybees do not feature in their growing,
in either location. Pollination probably is achieved by other types of
bees.
On the other hand, there is a constant need for honeybees to be placed in
the low bush blueberry fields during blossom time (very early spring) in
the Maritime Provinces of Canada. No doubt the situation in Maine is the
same. With the mite problems of recent years, the moving of hives for
pollination has become problematic., to say the least
