According to a study coordinated by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), crop yields were significantly lower in farming plots that attracted fewer bees during the main flowering season than in those plots that received more visits.
Incorporating both wild and managed bee species in a region could enhance cross-pollination, which is the key player of the crop yield process since plants completely rely on vectors to transfer their pollen in cross-pollination.
Britainโs bee farmers could have a key role in helping growers increase arable and fruit crop yields, by providing a targeted pollination service. Honeybees can help fill the pollination deficit in this country.ย Pollination is an essential part of food production, vital for one-third of food consumed
