Anoy,

   Welcome to the Bee List. There is a wealth of information here to be
found. You may find a lot by doing searches of the archives, as well.

      If you want to help farmers, you can get knowledgeable about
pollination. A good resource for this is The Pollination Home Page.   You can
get the general principles from this. When it comes to specific crops, the
page is probably the weakest in tropical crops. If you know of any other
resources that can be added to help boost up the site concerning tropical
crops, please let me know.

     There are also links to many beekeeper resources, basic horticultural
resources, biodiversity resources, etc. at this page.  The beekeeper resource
page will tell you how to search the bee list archives and other sources.

    There is a worldwide list of beekeepers who provide pollination service.
Unfortunately we have no listings from the Philippines. Perhaps you can help
us make contact with some who do pollination.

   May your flowers be full of nectar.
