Bees

[A. thom Aberdares]

Hi, I am co-ordinating / growing orchids in the semi wild, around the equator. As long the frost stays away, they tend to do fine and there are seedlings popping up in good numbers. But still, for some of the natural occurring species I would expect more seed pods. And now I am wondering, I do keep bees, and maybe those bees are not suppose to fertilize the orchids, but can it be that as the bees are so plentiful (no CCD here, and that discussion is already done elsewhere), that they compete with alternative food sources for the orchid fertilizing insects? I can hardly imagine that the orchid fertilizers get enough food from (specific) orchids only. Should I do away with the bees?
