Know how a honey bee works as a good pollinator in cucurbits?
  • Honey bees play an important role in pollination in cucurbits.

  • Honey bees perform more than 80% of all pollination of cultivated crops.

  • The body of honey bees is covered in fine hair, which picks up the pollen grains, after which the pollen particles are transported to the female flowers.

  • Bees do not harm the plant.

  • After the above process, the fertilization is completed and the formation of fruit from flowers starts in the plant.

  • During the winter season, the bee remains hibernated, and in such a situation, pollinates manually.
