Abstract
A test of white clover pollination was conducted on a field about 600 yards wide and 2000 yards long in an area where the known and estimated number of honeybee colonies averaged 15 to 20 acres/colony. Bee and bloom counts and data concerning pod and seed production were recorded and simple correlations were calculated. More bloom attracted more bees, and larger heads had more pods, but more bee activity did not increase seed production.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
