    What Crops require bees for Pollination?

    Besides Alfalfa, what crops, require insects especially Bees to pollinate? I have an article that indicates 750 Mason Bees can pollinate as much as 20,000 Honey Bees.
    Can someone refer me to a Website that would inform me as to the Crop & type of Bees required?

      Hybrid canola also requires bees for pollination. Try contacting the Lethbridge research station (Ag Canada). I understand that they are doing some interesting work in the pollination area.
