>In the farms we pollinate blueberries we place honey bees and bumble bees
boxes. 6 honey bee hives + 3 bumble bee boxes (Kopert type) pero hectare of
full productive plants (after year 5).

Did I not read recently that honey bees do not pollinate blueberries?  That
buzz pollination is required and that can only be provided by bumblebees?

Best wishes
