@@SRS1918In north America, honey bees are highly invasive and devastating to our environment. They're native to Eurasia and were imported a long time ago. As a commercial bee keeper you're profiting off of something that is actively destroying your environment around you. They block out food access for native pollinators and spread diseases to them. It's time to start spreading awareness of the realities of beekeeping. It's an industry started and sustained for money. What's more American that profit, especially at the expense of the ecosystem

I wish they farmed bees that were actually native to their home lands, honey bees were imported from eurasia. Honey bees are incredibly devastating to our environment, they create competition and take food from our native pollinators as well as being shockingly good at spreading diseases for our native pollinators too.

Kiwis generally grow as separate male and female plants (vs parts of the flowers or separately gendered flowers), it's gonna need a mate plant. There is one self fertile variety.

@sly-ryder-dietz Жыл бұрын

I haven't seen a kiwi vine like that before. I have 4 fuzzy kiwi plants that I grew from seeds in containers. This is their 2nd spring, and I have them growing up a 6 foot trellis that is too small for them. I haven't gotten flowers or fruit yet. Hardy kiwis are a different species of edible kiwi that I'm not as familiar with, so I wouldn't be able to identify it if that's what you have. I think you may have ended up with a different volunteer plant though.

@sly-ryder-dietz Жыл бұрын

I agree with the comment above. That's why I have 4 vines, hoping I would get male and female plants, but I haven't gotten flowers yet to confirm. There's a kiwi plant near me with flowers with both male and female parts. The fruit was actually delicious when I left them to ripen for a month or so after I picked them. It had a pretty spiky skin though and wasn't a normal grocery store variety.

I hope you're not from north America ❤ honey bees are highly invasive (from Eurasia) and actually hurt our environment way more than they could ever help. They're devastating to our native pollinators because they block out access to food, habitat and are surprisingly good at spreading diseases to them as well. Commercial bee keeping keeps these fact hidden because honey is a major profit, you can profit on practically everything a honey bee makes; from the honey to their stingers and everything in between. What's more American than profiting at the expense of our environment ?
