Integrated Crop Pollination: Combining strategies to ensure stable and sustainable yields of pollination-dependent crops (2017, background): “Even the recommendations or appropriate stocking densities of honey bees are based n old studies with out-of-date cultivars in many crops Free 1993; Delaplane & Mayer 2000), highlighting the eed for more research before ICP guidelines can be tion: Combining strategies to ensure stable and…”
Species richness of wild bees, but not the use of managed honeybees, increases fruit set of a pollinator-dependent crop (2015, background): “As bees are the most effective group of animal pollinators for apples (Delaplane & Mayer 2000), differences in fruit set at this stage are therefore likely to be caused by differences in bee pollination.”
Wild Bees (Hymenoptera: Apoidea: Anthophila) of the Michigan Highbush Blueberry Agroecosystem (2009, background): “KEY WORDS native bee conservation, pan trapping Highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) is a native North American crop dependent upon bees for moving pollen between ßowers, thus enhancing fruit set and berry size (McGregor 1976, Free 1993, MacKenzie 1997, Delaplane and Mayer 2000).”
Manipulating plant resources to enhance beneficial arthropods in agricultural landscapes (2005, background): “While the importance of plant diversity in maintaining effective pollinator populations is well known (Delaplane and Mayer 2000), the dependence of predators and parasitoids on plant resources is less familiar.”
MEASURING BEE DIVERSITY IN DIFFERENT EUROPEAN HABITATS AND BIOGEOGRAPHICAL REGIONS (2008, background): “Pollination is an important ecosystem service (Daily 1997), which is essential for the production of entomophilous crops (Free 1993, Delaplane and Mayer 2000, Klein et al. 2007) and the conservation of biodiversity, as pollinators ensure the reproduction of many wild plants (Neff and Simpson 1993,…”

Comparative Trapping Efficiency to Characterize Bee Abundance, Diversity, and Community Composition in Apple Orchards (2015, background): “The majority of apple cultivars are highly dependent on cross-pollination provided by various bees and other flower-visiting insects (Free 1964, Delaplane and Mayer 2000, Tepedino et al. 2007, Marini et al. 2012).”
Importance of pollinators in changing landscapes for world crops (2007, background): “…reduce the risk of population crashes in the field and the surrounding habitats by foregoing use of broad-spectrum insecticides during bloom, especially those with systemic or micro-encapsulated formulations that can contaminate nectar and pollen (Kevan 1975; Wood 1979; Delaplane & Mayer 2000).”
Higher soybean production using honeybee and wild pollinators, a sustainable alternative to pesticides and autopollination (2013, background): “…the great number of flowers produced by a soybean plant and its autopollination mechanism, the number of pods formed is low (13–57 % depending on genetic and environmental factors), rising suspicions of pollination limitation in this crop (McGregor 1976; Free 1993; Delaplane and Mayer 2000).”
POLLINATION DEFICITS IN UK APPLE ORCHARDS (2014, positive): “Apples are typically self-incompatible and require pollen transfer from another “polliniser” cultivar to set fruit in marketable quantities (Delaplane & Mayer 2000).”
