This experiment indicated that 80% of seed set seen in saguaro can be attributed to pollination by bees, whereas the other 20% is attributed to birds. Additionally, there was not a significant difference between bagging treatments which indicated that saguaro is not pollen limited, they are self-incompatible, and these data also support that there was little to no nighttime pollination happening. Birds were the most important visitors of saguaro given they visit a lots of flowers in a short time
