I suspect one of the difficulties with bees pollinating low bush
blueberries has to do with the daytime temperatures at which (so early in
the spring) the blueberries are in bloom.

  This would be very close to being too cool for honeybees to fly, but
bumble bees do work at lower temperatures, so they get the job done.  One of
our larger beekeepers , however, did  produce some blueberry honey for a few
seasons.  Overall, that product is not too nice a flavor and is best left to
the bees for their own use.
