Liliquoii help

[Liz]

Aren't liliko'i pollinated mostly by the carpenter bees? Both honeybees & carpenter bees are all over our vine. The little honeybees love it but they aren't big enough to actually do the pollinating. Commercial liliko'i growers often leave big logs lying about to give the carpenter bees somewhere to chew & nest, then they'll come around to pollinate your vines, too. We have a standing dead tree nearby that's full of carpenter bees who make a beeline (sorry!) for the liliko'i - and we're getting juicy fruit so it must be working. :-)
