[Pollinator] vanilla

[Claus Rasmussen]

 Hello,
Interesting with the vanilla study. Schwarz in 1948 on the stingless bees of the western hemisphere mentioned stingless bees as an important agent, but I have only seen Eulaema in the field visiting the genus Vanilla. Any studies available on vanilla pollination? Not much comes out searching, except speculations and anecdotal evidence. Youtube links on vanilla pollination are also rather uninformative.
Best, Claus
