Win-win: Beekeepers increase strawberry production

Pollinating fruits and melons with honeybees not only increases the output of fruits and vegetables and brings more income to farmers, but the income of beekeepers also increases three or four times. What is more noteworthy is that pollination by bees is more expensive and cheaper than sprays of bulking agents, fruit dressings and other hormones. Therefore, citizens can eat more delicious and more reliable fruits and vegetables.

According to Sun Deguan, director of the apiculture professional committee of the Shanghai Agronomy Association, a few years ago, the “half adulteration of commercial honey fraud” incident had caused the beekeeping industry to suffer serious injuries. Since adulteration counterfeiting can not be eliminated, the means are more subtle, resulting in The decline in market integrity and supply exceeds demand. Although high-end products such as royal jelly have been subject to fewer counterfeits and demand exceeds supply prices, honey prices have not returned to their normal value.

On the one hand, the income from brewing honey is not high. On the other hand, greenhouses and fruits and vegetables with increasing area need external pollination results. Therefore, more and more beekeepers have “flyed” bees into vegetable orchards. The reporter yesterday followed the bee farmer Aimin to the strawberry greenhouse in Zhaotun, Qingpu. Each shed had 5,000 bees flying among white strawberry floes while pollinating while collecting honey. The fruit growers used the fruit and tree leaf fertilizer. The effect of increasing production is very good.

The farmer Lao Lin told reporters that the bees pollinated in the United States could increase the yield of strawberries by 10 times. In his strawberry shed, the effect of increasing production has reached four to five times. Before the bees were stocked, most of the strawberries in the greenhouses were not pollinated, and the fruits were generally small and deformed. The output value of a greenhouse was only a few thousand dollars. After the bees were stocked, the fruit types were neat and the heads became larger, and the output value increased to 30,000 to 40,000 yuan. However, the cost of bees as foreign aid is only two or three hundred yuan on average.

Lao Lin said that the use of bulking agents will result in high moisture content in the strawberries, thin skin, and easy to damage during transport, and are generally no longer used. Laolin's words were confirmed by experts in strawberry cultivation and the director of the Forest Fruit Institute of Shanghai Academy of Agricultural Sciences. He said that with the promotion of high-quality varieties such as Hongxia and bee pollination techniques, the exuberant pigment has been extinguished in the strawberry shed in the Shanghai suburbs for several years. In addition, the cold weather at the end of last year, fewer diseases and insect pests, and insecticides were rarely sprayed. Taking 2000 mu of strawberries on Chongming Island as an example, the inspection confirmed the “zero drug residue,” so the public can safely taste sweet strawberries this year.
