The Rural Development Administration's National Institute of Agricultural Sciences has urged strawberry greenhouse farmers to prepare honeybees and bumblebees for pollination ahead of the main flowering season in October. Proper pollination is crucial for strawberry fruit quality, as inadequate pollination can lead to poor fruit shape and reduced marketability. Due to recent honeybee losses, using standard pollinator colonies and maintaining them over time has become increasingly important.
