A. Honey bees can be helpful in the pollination of peppers. The pepper flower has a nectary at
the base of the flower near the ovary, that produces nectar. The quantity of nectar that attracts the bees is highest at midday and early afternoon. However, it has not been conclusively proven that yields increase with the use of bees even though the fruits are better shaped with more seeds inside.
