Research at UFV leads to pollination discovery

Print Edition: May 22, 2013
Summer is almost upon us, and with it the anticipation of a delicious blueberry season – a season that is now at risk, due to a bee shortage.
In previous years, bees have been sent from across the country to help pollinate the large amount of plants here in the Lower Mainland.
This year many of these suppliers are no longer available.
As UFV professor Tom Baumann explains, “the lack of previous bee suppliers, especially from the prairies, has left a vacuum – a vacuum that cannot be filled locally.”
In the Fraser Valley alone, an estimated 120 million pounds of blueberries will be harvested this coming season – a harvest completely dependent on bees.
