Do bees pollinate grapevines? I had checked with a vineyard about placing a hive there and the owner said that bees will not pollinate grapevines.

The section on lavender says "growth. It is also beneficial in bringing bees into the vineyard which aids in pollenation."
A lot of berries don't NEED bees to get pollenated but do better when there are bees around.
I have no experience with grapes.
