We picked wild blueberries at our campsite on Lac Poisson. There were many mosquitoes, but we persisted. Once we picked enough for a blueberry pie, which is a lot of picking because — as you point out — wild blueberries are very small. We baked the blueberry pie over an open campfire in a cast iron Dutch oven. It took some time. (Yes, it was a tent in the woods, no electricity, no cookstove, no indoor plumbing, just a dark, cool lake. Later we built a cabin. It didn’t have any of those things either. Nevertheless we loved it there. A tangent.) Back to blueberries. We put the completed pie on a convenient stump outside the tent to cool and went for a swim. When we came back, a happy raccoon was enjoying our pie. There were still mosquitoes. You are correct. Wild blueberries are the most delicious of all possible fruits.
