You are a farmer growing vegetable crops that depended on a very delicate species of bee for pollination. Your crops have been invaded by a destructive beetle that reproduces rapidly. In past years this type of beetle has destroyed up to 60 percent of your harvest. Which form of pest control would you choose to save your crops? Detail why you would choose this method. Is there any method you would not use? Explain your answer.

I just recently planted a vegetable garden and I have quite a few plants. I have watermelons, cantaloupe, pumpkin, and zucchini plants all of these require bees to pollinate them and there is absolutely no bees. It is early in the season but i have had several opratunites for zuchinnis to be pollinated however there has been no fruit. Yes i made sure they were male and female plants. I did have one and that was from hand pollination. Is there any way i could bring bees into my garden. Maybe there is a small beekeeping house or something just help P:LEASE.
