Why Bees and Tunnels Don’t Always See Eye to Eye

In this article I offer some personal perspectives, observations and suggestions, related to insect pollination in polytunnels. As I explain below, there are many aspects of tunnels that make it hard for bees to visit crop flowers under plastic. Nevertheless, by offering this informal opinion piece (it’s not a research article, but it is backed by my understanding of the literature, my own research and field experience) I hope to provide some food for thought.
