Priming bumble bees with caffeine, odour of the target crop, and a food reward, has minimal effects on fruit crop pollination and yield in a semi-commercial setup by Sarah Arnold, Celine Silva, Jan-Hendrik Dudenhöffer, David Hall, Dudley Farman, Felix Wäckers, Philip Stevenson, Michelle Fountain

“…Some small effects of caffeine priming were observed (a slight increase in the proportion of visits to the target flowers in one trial), but after controlling for polytunnel identity, the priming treatment did not influence crop yield and quality. While caffeine priming of commercial bumblebee colonies may have potential to improve pollination in crops, further research is needed to optimise the system for in-field use. …”
