Hi,
 
I might have already asked this question to the list before but need some
input at this time....
 
I have been approached by several avocado growers to put bees in their
orchards next spring.
 
Is there any research on bees being necessary for avocado pollination?
 
I understand avocados produce Type A and Type B flowers and wonder how bees
can help fertilize flowers that open at different times of the day?
