Abstract

AbstractMeasures of pollen removal in the orchid Cypripedium acaule Ait. provided a retrospective method for estimating the activity of bumble bee pollinators in New Brunswick spruce-fir forests. Significantly lowered activity was observed in fenitrothion-sprayed forest as compared with unsprayed control areas. The difference is probably attributable to direct mortality of bees in sprayed forest.
