Pollination of apples by honeybees

Caption

Animal pollinators positively influence the sensory characteristics of fruits and vegetables, such as their shape, size, and post-harvest storability while contributing less to their nutritional qualities and taste. The benefits of animal pollination on quality are independent of geographical regions and pollinator species.
