Is there a market for pollination of blue berries?  How much honey can be expected to be produced from blue berries?

Shot in the dark, but Im sure I read, Yes on the pollination, and Poor on the honey crop. Sure someone with better knowledge will chime in, but I was reading a thread on the subject a few weeks ago, and Im pretty sure that was the concensus. Good Luck. G  :chop:

They do good work pollinating blueberries. I have a customer that has a 10 ac.field of blueberry .he has a you pick field. I have 6 hives there. I get scout 100-150 pounds per hive per season. Very very good flavor.very light in color and very floral in flavor.

I down know what pollution prices are for it tho. I do barter with him for other things. And a small cut if the season is good plus a percentage of honey sales at his place where I have a self-service stand. We make a good pocket change each year for vacation time.
