The flower-visiting insects during the blossom of Kiwifruit were found as two orders, four families, and ten species. The main insects were Eristalis cerealis and Apis mellifera. The pollinating rate of honeybees and bumblebees in kiwifruit were 53~56% and 71~75% respectively and proved to play an important role of transferring pollen. The time of staying onthe flowers of kiwifruit by honeybees were 1.8 seconds on female flowers and 2.9 seconds on male flowers, otherwise bumblebees were 2.5 seconds on female flowers and 3.8 seconds on male flowers. The fruiting rate after pollinated with artificial block, honeybees block, and bumblebees block in kiwifruit were 93%, 87%, and 83% respectively and the control with non-treatment had no fruit at all.
