Does anyone have experience with this? >> I hope I'm not raining on your parade; but, in my experience, it's hard to get honeybees to work rabbiteye blueberries. There is so much else in bloom at the same time. Conditions may vary in your area. They do, however work the daylights out of northern varieties of blueberries. There is another problem with southern rabbiteyes, even if the honeybees will work them. That is that they are much better pollinated by buzzing, which releases the pollen better. Other species of bees seem to do a better job here than honeybees. Try Dr. Cane at Auburn U. He has done a lot of work on this. I've not had experience with gibberellic acid/pollination. I would not expect it to have much effect on pollination, as it is a plant growth hormone. Are you sure they are not referring to pheromones to attract bees? I doubt that gibberellic acid would hurt bees, at any rate. [log in to unmask] Dave Green, PO Box 1200, Hemingway, SC 29554 (Dave & Jan's Pollination Service, Pot o'Gold Honey Co.)
