lowbush blueberry

From Québec to British Columbia, honey bee colonies were given the job of pollinating some of Canada's most valuable crops -- apples, canola oil and seed, highbush and lowbush blueberry, soybean, cranberry and corn.

Native bee populations are not substantial enough to support the state’s roughly 3,800 acres of lowbush blueberry fields.

Just beyond was the thicket of sassafras and lowbush blueberry shrubs.

A March fly rests on one the stem of a lowbush blueberry.

These areas support native plants like lowbush blueberry and Juneberry that prefer the bluffs’ acidic soil.
