grape orchards

[Keith13]

Okay i got a guy asking me to put two hives in the middle of his orchard. i didnt think that bees visited grapes am i wrong ? he has grapes as well as muscadines do bees work these plants?

I don't know about muscadines.  But they don't seem interested in grapes, nor are the grapes dependent on bees.

I'm in vineyard country and, no, the grapes aren't bee pollinated.

Tends to be a lot of clover growing between the rows though, and the bees love that of course. 

BUT... because the growers don't need the bees, they don't tend to care at all what they spray (and a LOT of it is bee toxic), or when, nor do they bother to mow the clover before they spray.

Suffice to say yards next to vineyards are not considered prime locations.

Seems muscadines are just another variety of grape, so same should apply.
