= Not Enough Bee Visits to the Flowers
|
| When there are not
enough bees, cucumbers may be partly pollinated. This results in slow growing (tough) and
badly shaped cukes. Areas where the seeds did not recieve a grain of pollen, will not grow, leading to the poor fruit. If your cukes look like these, you need to get a beehive for your garden, or rent hives for your fields. |
