Find out about the role of courgette flowers in pollination and learn about the benefits of additional flowers for maintaining bee populations.
As part of our study, we surveyed courgette fields at three different sites to see whether the presence of wildflowers would attract more pollinators.
Our study showed that honeybees and bumblebees are the most effective pollinators of field courgettes.
