果园中的蜂群经常采集大量花粉。蜜蜂们在采摘果实时会变得习惯，即使在中午或下午早些时候采摘果实的花朵关闭时，也只有一小部分蜜蜂会变成果实。从果园中清除蒲公英应该会增加蜜蜂群体的授粉效率。当花粉充足时，采蜜者就会沾满花粉，但大多数人会把花粉从身体里梳理出来，然后丢弃。
Honeybee colonies in fruit orchards often collect much dandelion pollen. Bees visting dandelion become conditioned to it and, even when the dandelion flowers close at midday or early afternoon, only a small percentage of bees change to fruit. Elimination of dandelions from orchards should increase the pollinating efficiency of the honeybee colonies present. When dandelion pollen is plentiful nectar-gatherers become dusted with it, but most of them comb it from their bodies and discard it.
