Main pollinators of the jaboticaba tree

The most commonly observed pollinators on jaboticaba flowers include honeybees and stingless bees.

These bees intensely visit flowers in search of pollen, promoting the efficient transfer of pollen between flowers on the same tree and between different individuals. A wonderful species to have in the backyard or grown in a large pot, which is my case.
