CropGain

Honey bees play a very important role in modern agriculture. Many crop like cherries and blueberries are almost entirely dependent on honey bees for pollination. It was estimated that total value of pollination to US agriculture is about $14.6 billion US. The same estimate to Canadian agriculture is $782 million.

Honey bees fly only on clear days when temperatures are above 13ºC (55ºF) and wind is minimal. Flowers need to be pollinated sufficiently otherwise the fruits may become misshapen. CropGain helps in attracting honey bees to flowers of various crops. CropGain is a unique pollination enhancement spray. Its active ingredient makes honey bees visit more flowers and spend more time on them. More visits will result in better pollination, better fruit set and bigger crop.

Use CropGain on a variety of crops in your garden: beans, blueberries, cantaloupe, cucumbers, eggplant, green peppers, peas, pumpkins, raspberries, squash, strawberries, tomatoes, watermelons and zucchini to name a few
