Market Farming

[Allan Balliett <igg AT igg.com>]

That was part of our angle this past year. We were part of a study 
last year on 'native squash bees.' Meeting squash bees for the first 
time last year, I was surprised to find out how much better suited 
for squash pollination they are than honey bees are. And, they are 
very plentiful in this area in the wild. One would hope that  'squash 
bees' were also 'cuke bees,' wouldn't one? -Allan
