This work was aimed at estimating increased in production in a commercial strawberry crop, Fragaria chiloensis, production before and after introducing bees, classifying fruit, total and per plant production and cost/benefit ratio were evaluated. The research was carried out with 360 plants divided in three treatments: (T0) control group (free insect entry), (T1) partial exclusion group (limited access for insects) and (T2) total exclusion group (no visits by insects), each consisting of 120 plants. Four hives containing Apis mellifera were used, located 10 m from the crop. Complementary feeding was employed to promote predilection of bees for strawberry flowers. Directed pollination with Apis mellifera led to increased production, rising from 74.5 ± 20.2 kg during the period with no bees to 151.3 ± 25.5 kg once the colonies had adapted themselves to the crop. This, in turn, led to an increase in the number of fruit per plant (61.1%) which also represented increased economic benefit. The production curve improved three weeks after introducing the hives, this being reflected in increased production, quality and fruit size (fruit classed as extra and increased production of first class strawberries).
