Hi all,

the strawberries in my greenhouse are flowering but I just noticed an ant
on one of the flowers.
Does it matter?
I remember the recent thread that ants mainly damage the roots of young
seedlings but are unlikely to damage plants in other ways like eating them,
as there are supposedly no farmer ants in the UK.

So, again, does it matter? Might any ants in fact help pollinate the
flowers?

Paul
