Work of Honey Bee in Fruit Crops
The honey bee’s economic importance to fruit growers is shown by last spring’s poor weather during bloom. Some varieties are self sterile. planted in large blocks they rarely yield good crops without cross pollination from other varieties.

If trees are sprayed in full bloom, it may injure the bees and hinder pollination. Discs and tips for spray guns and nozzles on hand may prevent waste and improper application. Clean crops of grapes can be grown without a fixed spray schedule. growers should monitor for trouble and start control when pests are found.
