> Does anyone have more information about bee pollination and avocados?
 
I did a seminar talk some years ago that started out:
 
"Avocados are a protogynous dicogamy with synchronous daily
complementarity"
 
There are Type A varieties and Type B.  They are complimentary in the
sense that when one has male flowers open, the other has female.
 
In NZ it isn't such a big issue, as we get cooler evenings, and the
types are not so strict in their flowering...
