Abstract
The laboratory reared bumble bee (B. haemorrhoidalis Smith) queens used for pollination resulted in increase in number of fruits per plant (3.77%), fruit weight (24.60%), fruit length (13.51%), fruit breadth (21.52%), healthy fruits (23.84%), seed number (113.64%), 1000 seed weight (g) (5.44%) and fruit yield per (89.42%) in bell pepper over control suggesting that bumble bee pollination is effective in improving bell pepper fruit yield and quality.
