The honey bee accounts for 80 percent of all pollination done by insects and without the honeybee’s pollination services more than a third of the fruits and vegetables that humans consume would not exist. Pollination by honeybees is not just important to commercial plantings, like apples and almonds, but it is also essential for fruits and vegetables found in backyard gardens, like cucumbers, squash, melons, and strawberries. A hive in the garden can be the difference between success and disappointment for a local gardener.
