%X Studies were carried out to see the foraging behaviour and role of pollination by honeybees (Apis mellifera L.) in Linseed, Linum usitatissimum L. Foragers visited the crop between 07.00 -15.00 h with most intense visitation between 11.00 -12.00 h (19.49/ flower/10 minutes) resulting, maximum yield, 1000 grain weight and germination percentage of 485.98 Kg/acre, 7.085 gms and 96.51 per cent, respectively. Thus seed pollinated by honeybees was found to be of good quality and quantity.
