Apples are one of the most important global crops that relies heavily on insect pollination, which has been shown to increase apple production and value. However, recent reports indicate declining in certain regions, including Bhutan. One potential causes pollination deficits driven by a low abundance diversity pollinators, phenomenon received little attention Bhutan date. Here, we present first study examining flying insects Bhutanese orchards relation quality. During flowering season, 1,006 comprising 44 unique (morpho-)species from orders Hymenoptera, Diptera, Lepidoptera were recorded using standardized method passive active trapping within nine different Thimphu, Paro, Haa districts, western part harvest 495 apples collected these orchards, measured five parameters; weight, size, sugar concentration, seed number, malformation score. The dominant flower visitors across all honey bees (mostly Apis mellifera, followed A. cerana dorsata). Orchards with higher (both managed wild) had better quality (weight, size concentration). Contrary other regions world, visitor did not correlate apples. This represents reporting highlights importance pollinators reinforces need develop pollinator friendly practices ensure sustainable production.
