In the strawberry planting experimental demonstration shed in Xinping Village, Beiwan Town, the strawberries in the greenhouse have entered the flowering period one after another, and a group of small bees shuttle back and forth among the flowers, falling on the white strawberry stamens from time to time to pollinate and collect honey, "reducing the burden" for fruit farmers and helping to increase production and income.
Walking into the strawberry greenhouse, the neat and green strawberry plants come into view, and a group of small bees are shuttling among the flowers, working hard. It is understood that the planting of strawberries has high temperature requirements, large temperature difference between indoor and outdoor greenhouses, high humidity, poor air mobility, isolation from natural insects in the greenhouse, and lack of pollinators, resulting in a reduction in natural pollination capacity. As a result, the greenhouse management technician invited the "worker" bees, and the bees have also become the "secret" for the fruit farmers to increase the yield of strawberries.
Attract bees to pass pollen, greenhouse strawberry sweet honey. In recent years, Xinping Village, Beiwan Town, has given full play to the "close" location advantage with the county seat, encouraged farmers to introduce planting varieties, broke the traditional planting concept of "spring planting and autumn harvest", vigorously adjusted the planting structure, and continuously expanded the shed fruit and vegetable industry. Seize the gap in the winter strawberry market, vigorously invest manpower and material resources to renovate the shed, and set up 2 strawberry planting experimental demonstration sheds.
Bee pollination technology not only saves a lot of labor costs for manual pollination, but also makes the strawberry fruit shape more thoughtful and full, the fruit setting rate is increased by more than 30% on average, the rate of crooked and deformed fruits is reduced by more than 30%, and the average time to market is 10 to 15 days earlier. At the same time, bees instigate pollination through their wings, which ensures that pollination is uniform and does not repeat pollination. "The strawberries in our shed are now in full bloom and are pollinated by bees. After pollination, the fruit shape of strawberries is more round and full, the yield is better, and it can also sell well. Strawberry grower Su Wei introduced.
