have just read this tip in a book... half a cup of sugar boiled, then added to a galleon of water and sprayed over your strawberries attracts loads of bees and results in a bumper crop! Any comments anyone!?

Hi Helen,
Yes I have a comment. Do not use this method unless you want to attract Ants to your crop. Bees will find Strawberry flower easily enough without the spray.

Great minds think alike Jonhboy, but you are quicker on the key board than me, i'm still a one finger man.
Kind regards Old Herbaceous.

Hi Herby!!
I'm on two fingers so I suppose I'm 100% faster then you. I feel we should be called the Snail and the Tortoise collectively!!
