Guess I'm at a loss as to what to do.  My farm is thick with bees, but they don't like the berries.  I haven't seen much of anything on the blooms.  Any ideas?

Blackberries and raspberries both need pollinators working on them for good pollination. If pollination is incomplete (partial pollination) the berries may abort.
