Andean blueberry pollinators
The Andean blueberry, or Agraz (Vaccinium meridionale), is a wild plant that grows in the highlands of Colombia. Local communities harvest their fruits, which have a high commercial value. However, little was known about their pollinators. I worked on identifying the flower visitors and pollinators of this important plant. Bumblebees and honey bees are the most common and efficient pollinators, but the flowers are also visited by flies, butterflies, moths, and solitary bees. Check out the full report.
