Larry, I have no personal experience, but several researchers have told me that covering the greenhouse with shadecloth helps. This apparently makes the greenhouse covering appear to the bees to be an obstacle, rather than a direct path to the sky. This problem is why bumblebees are more often used for greenhouse pollination. Perhaps Juanse can chime in, as he has been dealing with a similar problem in Chile. -- Randy Oliver Grass Valley, CA www.ScientificBeekeeping.com *********************************************** The BEE-L mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software.
