What was evaluated
Research conducted at Embrapa Soybean over three consecutive seasons in Londrina compared 5,565 kg/ha with hives against 4,926 kg/ha without pollinator access.
Comparator and study design
The experiment compared areas with hives and areas without pollinator access, preserving the complementary-pollination context.
Method and metric
Soybean is self-pollinating, and the research design evaluated the contribution of bee visitation on top of the crop’s self-fertilization system.
What this result shows in the study context.
The approved public statement is 13% higher yield. The number is the rounded average increase observed in the three-season experiment.
The evidence describes soybean and the experimental conditions evaluated; self-pollination is a biological trait, while field response depends on context.
AgroBee connects evidence to the actual area: crop, flowering window, logistics, management and the metric defined for follow-up.
Soybean yield is increased through complementary pollination by honey bees
