Very interesting article and what great technology to use for health issues concerning Coffee plantations. However I have a few questions concerning the native pollinators. From the article it seems that within the coffee plantation and the surrounding "natural area" little or no pollinators were present. Are the native pollinators missing because they are not well adapted to coffee? Or are there naturally lower levels of native pollinators in those areas? Was there a baseline study done before hand to see the amount and diversity of pollinators present on the sites? Have the sites been altered so much that there is not enough nesting habitat for the native pollinators? And my final question is there a chance of the non native honeybee displace the native pollinators?
