Can strawberies be covered with bird net?

[Joyfirst]

I was wondering, if I cover strawberries and blueberries with bird net, would it allow bees in to fertilize the flowers? I know holes are big enough, but I don't know, if bees would want to crawl through?

I've not noticed any reduction in the amount of fruit produced when using netting over my strawberry plants.

Great, then bees don't mind it. Thank you so much for the answer.

For the Blueberries, I just wait to add the netting around them, after pollination is complete and the berries have started to form.
From what I have observed, the birds aren't interested in harvesting the berries until they are more mature (ripening).

But, I don't think the bees will mind the netting anyway. I like to be able to get in and around the bushes without the netting being in the way; that's why I wait to add it later.
