| I have number Carpenter bees in the spring. I have noticed that they will cut small holes in the side of the blueberry flowers to harvest the nectar. I read that this bypasses pollination, but I dont seem to have problems with my blueberry harvest. I do see bumble bees and others on the same bushes, but they retrieve pollen and nectar the usual way. -------------------------------------------- Now Zone 8a!!
