Tel:+237691459611To evaluate the impact of a single visit of Xylocopa olivacea on fruit and seed yields of Bixa orellana, its foraging and pollinating activities were studied in Dang, during the rainy seasons of 2010 and 2011. Treatments included unlimited flowers access by all visitors, bagged flowers and flowers limited visits by X. olivacea only. The foraging behavior of X. olivacea on flowers and its pollination efficiency were recorded. Xylocopa olivacea was the third most frequent visitor and it intensely and exclusively collected pollen. The fruiting rate, the mean number of seeds per fruit and the percentage of normal seeds of unprotected flowers were significantly higher compared to protected flowers. Through its pollination efficiency, X. olivacea showed a significant increase of the fruiting rate by 35.83%, the number of seeds per fruit by 1.26% and the percentage of normal seeds by 72.49%. The conservation of X. olivacea nests close to B. orellana fields is recommended to improve fruit and seed production in the region.
