Abstract：In order to perfect bee pollination technology on small fruit type watermelon in vertical-culture and solve the problems of low fruit rate with bees pollinated,we carried out the research of bee pollination on small fruit type watermelon in vertical-culture. The results showed that using 6 honey comb of bees in two boxes when temperature is above 15 ℃is best. To improve the cultivation method by increasing pollination line, pollinate plants, growing wild watermelon in inter-row, planting varieties with abundant flowers and pollen can the increase fruit rate of small fruit type watermelon by 27%-31%, 667 m2 yield by 1 318.19 kg, economic benefit by 3 251.93 Chinese Yuan. The technology of bee pollination on small fruit type watermelon in vertical-culture reduces the labor intensity of farmers and the production cost, and increases fruit setting rate. It saves pollination labor cost 840 Chinese Yuan per 667 m2 and fill in the technology gap of low fruit rate on small fruit type watermelon in vertical-culture with bee pollination.
