>>>   “The perfect bee would produce a lot of seeds and visit a lot of flowers,
even in poor weather – and there would be a lot of them,"  Dr. Hannah Burrack,
at NC State

Actually, it is a mistake to think of the perfect pollinator or the perfect crop. Pollination is accomplished by a network of pollinators which supplement and complement each other. Equally, this assortment of pollinators requires a diverse array of flowers and other environmental conditions to thrive.
