Sumario:This study was carried out to evaluate seed production and germination of sunflower, Helianthus annuus. The sunflower cultivar used is called Embrapa 122-V2000. The experiment used a marked area that had 8m x 3m, and in a second area was installed, containing a honeybee colony and covered with wire screen, 8m x 3m, with two meters in the highest part. The seed production was 362.34% higher in the covered area with honeybee colony, and its achenes weight, 27.12% higher. Therefore, pollination by honeybees in sunflower increases the seed production, as well as its germination.
