Highlights
•
Industrial hemp cultivation is gaining popularity and its
prolific pollen production may provide major ecological
benefits.
•
Bee pollinators continue to face challenges making it
crucial to develop agroecosystem practices that can sustain
bees.
•
Industrial hemp can play an important role in providing
sustained nutritional options for bees during the cropping
season.
•
We report 20 different genera of bees on flowering hemp
demonstrating that hemp in the agroecosystem supports
pollinators.
•
This knowledge of bee diversity on hemp reiterates the
need for integrated pest management as pests become common on
hemp.
