The relationship between bees and flora
Between the bee and the flora during development very close relationship has emerged. The flora a home and food offers the uterus. But what else do they offer each other?
Among other things, the bee in plants reproduction plays an irreplaceable role. The uterus is a natural for example are mainly the holes in the trees.
The work of the bee pollinator
Flowering plants can only produce seeds and fruit if the reproduction their underlying gametes fuse. These cells are produced by the flowers. A pollen after sexual maturity, the pollen opens up, the pollen falls out and becomes free.
Since the pollen is immobile, it needs a mediator to bring the two cells together. This role is played by the wind and the bee. A Insects the most important of these is honey bee. As for wind-pollinated plants, they produce much more pollen than the other group.
Insect-pollinated plants produce much less pollen, their pollen is heavier and larger. They have several characteristics that make the insect's role as an intermediary more effective. The bee's body, whether it collects pollen or nectar, is covered with pollen from every flower it visits. This is due to the stickiness and roughness of the surface of the pollen grains and the hairs covering the uterine lining are greatly facilitated by.
The hive dynamics
The worker colonies of a bee colony do not die in autumn like those of other family insects. Their numbers decline as autumn approaches, but thousands of worker bees still spend the winter together. The bee sticks to the plant whose flowers it has started to visit. About 70 % of bees keep this rule.
VIDEO: bee migration has long been widespread in our country to increase honey production. In recent decades, more and more beehives have been migrating to pollinate plants. The wild insects pollinate flowers incidentally, without any human intervention, during their foraging activities.
Bees and fruit growing
The planned use of bees in seed and fruit production in many countries has become an integral part of agricultural production. Beekeepers undertake, in return for an appropriate service, to provide the required number of bees for the crop to be pollinated at the time the producer wishes. In our country, more and more farms are contracting beekeepers, with an appropriate remuneration. One of the preconditions for a good harvest is that a sufficient number of insects visit a flower.
One more reason to use chemical-free products!
Chemicals used in plant protection not only in wild pollinating insects, but also can also cause damage to bees. Such unfortunate incidents cause most of the losses in the outgoing bees. These bees come into contact with the venom during flight and on the flowers of the chemically treated plants. It is also common for the poison to enter the hive through the body or cargo of the forager bees, causing damage to young bees. Mothers usually only die in severe cases.
VIDEO: destruction of bee colonies is bad not only because it reduces honey production, but also because it will reduce the number of flowers pollinated. This will result in fewer new crops and plants. A DanubaGarden committed to the organic farming so it only offers "small" gardeners products free of harmful substances.

10 Plant Cover Crop Mix with Micorrhiza
🌸 The best friend of flowers
The product contains butterfly flowering plants (white-flowered lupin, spring vetch, purple clover, Alexandrian testicle, sweetgum) Nitrogen are bound from the air. After the plants die, they decompose in the soil, this nitrogen can be taken up by the next plants. The proportion of these butterflies in the mixture is close to 60%.
