Abstract : Returning honey bee foragers were examined for nectar, water, pollen and bee-glue in a 14-ha flowering mango cv. Heidi orchard. Low frequencies of pollen and nectar loads indicated low pollen and nectar availability in mango. Honey bees were nevertheless observed visiting the flowers throughout each day of the flowering period.
