Key ingredients in all of our baked goods benefit greatly from pollinators! While raspberry plants (and many of their relatives like blackberries in the genus Rubus) can self-pollinate, with the help of insect pollinators, they can form larger sized and a larger quantity of fruit. While honey bees are often used to commercially pollinate raspberry crops, other managed and wild species are excellent pollinators as well. They include: mason bees, bumble bees, mining bees, other solitary bees, and hoverflies.
