Buzz-bees and other pollinating insects can increase the yield of strawberry plants

This article is about pollinating insects can increase the yield of strawberry plants. Insects and other animals pollinate the flowers of many plants. The importance of insect pollination on the performance of strawberry in 53 studies was reviewed. The yields of plants not exposed to insects and dependent on gravity or wind for pollination were only 0.65 of those exposed to insects under natural conditions (open pollination).
