Dear All,
As we eat our recommended daily portions of office fruit, it is important to know that the fruit forming process could not be successful if it were not for the little hard working Honey Bee.
In commercial orchards beehives are placed in the orchard when most trees are in bloom as to enhance pollination and assist in fruit set. It is interesting to note that not all fruit bearing trees have the same distinct requirements regarding pollination and Honey Bees are the most important natural carriers of pollen.
One Honey Bee can visit 5,000 flowers a day! Now that is productivity! It is also interesting to know that in our high tech world we can still rely on mother nature to provide us with this little miracle worker.
So today as you tuck into that apple, peach or plum say thanks to the Honey Bee!
Regards All and have a Fruitful day!
