Honeybees are found throughout the main coffee-growing regions of Africa and South America. Bee pollination accounts for “one third of the world coffee production, if other plants are similar to the ones I’ve been studying,” Roubik told New Scientist:
believes bees improve coffee yield by increasing the amount of pollen placed on the stigma of each plant and increasing the genetic diversity of coffee crops.
UN data on coffee yields worldwide, and on the introduction or elimination of honeybees from different regions, backs his conclusions, Roubik says.
Taylor Ricketts of Stanford University’s Center for Conservation Biology says: “To me perhaps the best approach is to understand what roles native bees play in local agriculture and try to conserve a diversity of them in the landscape, so that agriculture is not dependent on a single species of introduced bee, or on a managed pollinator industry.”
