A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Food Garden Forum Pollen Question

I am doing strawberries, fruit trees, and other veggies in the backyard. The strawberries have little flowers on them and now I am wondering if they will get pollenation(I hope that is the right word) or if they need it to make fruit.. I haven't seen any bees so what can I do? I don't want too many bees either.. I thought about planting a few flowers that they like; is that a good idea? If so what do they like? THank you so much for the info.

Hi, other things will pollinate your fruit also. Different butterflies, moths and flies do it. Some in the dead of night and you never see them. If you need bees, they will come to your flowers with out additional plantings to attract them.

Good to know! Jonnie you are the best . Thanks so much.
