This work objectified to compare the productivity and the quality of the strawberry marketable fruits in protected environment, using the species of bee Apis mellifera in relation of the absence of a polinizator agent. It was installed two experiments using the cultivates Camarosa, Oso Grande, Diamante and Aromas (treatments), in the period of May 5 th until December 19th of 2006. The first experiment did not have polinizatores agents (control). The second was polinizated by the species of bee Apis mellifera. The treatments (cultivars) had been arranged, in each experiment in a randomized blocks with 6 repetitions. They were evaluated income characteristics, as well as analysis physicist-chemistry of the fruits of each cultivar. For the income, the biggest production was gotten in cultivar Camarosa, for the first and the second experiment (907,46 g. plant-1 and 1054,93 g. plant-1, respectively), in the way that the cultivate Oso Grande, presented minor number of damaje fruits.
