Efficacy of different honey bees (apis spp.) on seed setting was studied on five genotypes of berseem. Apis mellifera was found to be better pollinator than A. florea. Differential genotypic response of seed setting in diploid and tetraploid cultivars was seed which may be due to different flower size. Drastic reduction in seed set was observed when bees visit was completely checked indicating thereby significant role of bees in pollination of berseem.
