| The citrus flower (Citrus sinensis L. Osbeck) is attractive and the plant is cross pollination, and the main pollinator are the bees. The insect pollination, mainly Apis mellifera L., in this crop is important because the plant produces fruit in great quantity and of the best quality. The performance of A. mellifera as pollinator agent depends on several factors, like this, the nectar and pollen availability in flowers, climatic conditions, and physical aspects of soil. This pollination by Africanized honeybees in C. sinensis can generate more sweet fruits, besides rising the production about 30%. |
