Koje voćke mason pčele najbolje oprašuju

Mason pčele lete, zavisno od sezone, od februara/marta do kraja maja i oprašuju široki spektar biljaka koje u tom periodu cvetaju. Nisu izbirljive u pogledu hrane, tako da će, ukoliko im je gnezdo u blizini voćnjaka, sakupljati polen sa najbližih cvetova. Naročito dobar potencijal za oprašivanje mason pčele imaju kod:

Jabučastog voća – jabuka, kruška, dunja, mušmula, oskoruša, glog
Koštičavog voća – breskva, kajsija, šljiva, trešnja, višnja, marela
Jezgrastog voća – badem
Jagodastog voća – malina, kupina, jagoda
Bobičastog voća – aronija, borovnica, ribizla, ogrozd

Ovo su studije koje su pokazale bolje rezultate oprašivanja mason pčelama nego medonosnim pčelama:
