dyzzypyxxy said:It really depends upon what you're planning to grow in the way of vegetables, Thomas. Some will pollinate themselves with just air movement.

When the weather's cold enough that your plants wouldn't grow and bloom outside, it's a good bet there aren't going to be many honey bees out foraging, either.

Much more important in winter to keep the temperature of your greenhouse up, so that your plants keep growing and blooming.


I have over 220 days of growing season and normally mild winters. I do plan to have my greenhouse heated to maintain a good temperature throughout the cold weather.

Thanks,
