Abstract
The present study was carried out on three plum cultivars; Golden Japanese, Hollywood and Santarosa at Elkalubia Governorate during 2012 & 2013 to study the behavior of bee foragers and the response of sequential increase of honeybee visits/ flower on fruit set and fruit characteristics. Several sequential treatments were applied from 1 bee visit/ flower up to ten bee visits/ flower besides zero visit (control) and open pollination treatments. Investigations on Annona species (Annona Atemoya, Annona Cherimoya and Annona Squamosa) was conducted at El-Mansouria district, during 2014 & 2015 to identify insects visitor and also study the effect of different pollination treatments on fruit set and fruit characteristics in comparison with hand pollination (control). In Annona, Carpophilus hemipterus was the most abundant insect visitor to Annona species under investigation
