This thesis investigates the role of non‑bee pollinators in agricultural systems, addressing their growing recognition as important contributors to crop production. Although global pollination research remains heavily focused on managed bees, many non‑bee taxa provide substantial pollination services, particularly in regions and conditions where bees are less effective. By combining a global literature review with experimental studies in raspberry and blackberry crops, this research examines how species‑specific behaviours, environmental conditions, and crop‑management contexts shape pollination outcomes. Additional habitat‑enhancement experiments show that simple water bodies can support key fly pollinators by providing suitable developmental sites. Together, these findings demonstrate that non‑bee pollinators can play meaningful and sometimes underappreciated roles in crop pollination, highlighting their potential to strengthen the resilience and sustainability of agricultural systems.
