Talk:List of crop plants pollinated by bees

Tomato
This is wrong. Many tomato greenhouse farmers buy bumblebee colonys to increase the production. https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/canadian-entomologist/article/are-bumble-bee-colonies-in-tomato-greenhouses-obtaining-adequate-nutrition/8A9780EAC03B670D8BC49C2A5E23E2F7 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.59.31.72 (talk) 07:58, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

Article name
Current name implies the list should only include crops pollinated by bees. Lot of crops here which have no bees (one doesn't even have insects).

Should these crops be removed? Or article renamed to better reflect list content? Haruth (talk) 13:31, 16 January 2012 (UTC)


 * They probably should be removed. It's rather misleading, presently, as you suggest.Dyanega (talk) 22:25, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

Big crops?
The most important food crops (rice, wheat, corn, soybeans, potatoes) are conspicuous in their absence from this list. If someone could add them, that would be great. HuntClubJoe (talk) 06:24, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Four of those crops are not pollinated by bees. They should not be in the list at all, accordingly.Dyanega (talk) 22:26, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
