A recent study shows that bees can help with the pollination of strawberries. This will allow strawberry farms to grow more food for less. The California Department of Pesticide Regulation (CDPR) believes that this new finding can reduce food waste up to one-third. Six strawberry growers will receive beehives this September to use in a year long study. This study should have results in 2023.
