Principles for Asset-Building Communities. "Collective impact initiatives are often missing one important link -- authentic community engagement. Search Institute invites potential collaborators to join us in designing and conducting a major, mixed-methods study to answer critical questions about community engagement that can inform and strengthen the 'cradle to career' education reform efforts that are being implemented across the United States today. " --Kent Pekel, President and CEO, Search Institute Communities Committed to Young People’s Success Preparing all young people to become thriving and contributing adults will require more than strengthening developmental relationships within schools and programs. The Collective Impact Strategy In communities across the country, leaders of educational systems, government agencies, businesses, nonprofits, and other important organizations are working to address this challenge with a focus on young people’s educational success.

For up to date information, please visit our new website. Extract from Bulletin 4298: Honeybee pollination The data in this report on the number of beehives required for each hectare of crop are estimates based on experience of researchers in Australia and overseas. The recommended numbers vary greatly and are due to differences between variety requirements, localities and the influence of local feral bee populations on pollination. Symbols used in the summaries Select the name of a fruit crop to go to information about it. See also: Using Beetubes in pollination of orchard crops. Banana (Musa spp.) Nectar production: Can be copious especially in tropical climates.
Honey production: Said to be dark and thick; 'Banana' honey being sold at Coffs Harbour, NSW. Review of bee pollination benefits: Not known. Top Custard apple (sugar apple) (Annona x (Hybrids between A. cherimoya and A. squamosa) ) A. cherimoya has no nectaries. Durian (Durio zibethinus ) Unknown. List of crop plants pollinated by bees. Pollination by insects is called entomophily.
Entomophily is a form of plant pollination whereby pollen is distributed by insects, particularly bees, Lepidoptera (e.g. butterflies and moths), flies and beetles. Honey bees will pollinate many plant species that are not native to their natural habitat but are often inefficient pollinators of such plants. Some plants, such as root vegetables and salad crops, will produce a useful food crop without pollination when grown from seed but may require insect pollination to produce seeds for the next generation.
This is not a list of plants that are pollinated only by the honeybee. The majority of these crops are pollinated in whole or part by other kinds of bees or insects. See also[edit] References[edit] Jump up ^ Kislev ME, Hartmann A, Bar-Yosef O (2 June 2006). Further reading[edit]
