It seemed like some vegetables I was growing weren't producing well and I was wondering if lack of pollination might be a problem, besides the heat, of course. Since honeybees are somewhat scarce due to Colony Collapse Disorder and other problems, I looked for information on what plants needed pollination to produce well. I found this table on Wikipedia and thought others might be interested. It's mostly for vegetables and fruits. Of course, some ornamentals might need pollination also if you want to collect seed for them, but very few are on here.

Bee Pollination
Makes me cherish the bees I have had here this summer even more. So many people just don't seem to understand that everything has a place in nature.
