how do blueberry plants get pollinated?

10 years ago

"As with all blueberries they will do much better with ‘friends’ nearby. Always have at least two blueberry plants near each other, ideally of two different varieties."

--

that is what i read on line. i wonder if they are pollinated by tiny flying insects? and what is the reason that it is better to have two different types of blueberries?
