If you don't like bees or eat honey only once a year, this doesn't mean that these insects are not needed for your garden.
Few people know that about 84% of crops grown by humans are pollinated by bees.
If the number of these insects is reduced, the plants will continue to bloom, but there will be no fruit set.
Advice on attracting bees to a plot is given by the expert of the online publication Belnovosti and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.
