CRANBERRY POLLINATION / MEASUREMENT

How Do You Measure Cranberry Pollination?

Cranberry pollination is best measured as a chain: bloom status, visitor activity, pollen delivery, and later fruit set. Counting insects without following the crop response leaves the most important part unmeasured.

Map bloom progression

Know where the crop actually is in bloom.

Measure visitation

Use timed observations across representative bed locations.

Add pollen-transfer sampling when possible

This helps distinguish presence from effective pollination.

Follow with fruit set

Later crop response validates whether the earlier activity mattered.
