90% of the food stuff all around the world is obtained from plants. 77 % of theseplant needs pollination by bees. Therefore, in order to achieve sufficient pollination, beecolonies are needed in florescence period. When pollination and fertilization do not occur inmany species of horticultural crops, abscission takes place without the fruit’s being able tocomplete its devolopment. In conditions where fecundation is insufficent, the shape of thefruits is deformed and product quality is low even if the fruits remain on the plant as a result ofthe formation of a few ovules.The quality and quantity of the productare directly affected bythe formation, development, pollination and fertilization of flowers in horticutural crops suchas apple, pear, strawberry, fig, kiwi, tomato, egg plant and pepper.When enough attention ispaid to pollination, production growth in angio spermae is observed. In this study, according tothe data obtained from a study conducted in order to determine the effect of honeybees onpollination and fecundation of strawberry in Usak province between 2014 and 2016, aconsiderable increase in quality and a homogeneity in strawberry fruit were observed and1248.6 g of productivity was obtained in strawberries with bee pollination, while 970.33 g ofproductivity was obtained in strawberries without bee pollination.
