Riva asked, "Is it possible to put a honeybee hive inside the enclosure
during bloom?"
When honeybees are caged, they forget about pollinating and spend all of
their time trying to get out. Honeybees are worthless in a greenhouse; that
is why bumblebees are used to do greenhouse pollinating. I tried getting
honeybees to do pollination in my greenhouse. I even left the door open and
they were all flying against the ceiling.
