[bschmidtbauer]

Read the article on the Pros & cons of California almond pollination for the Midwestern beekeeper in the April 2005 issue of the American Bee Journal by Bob Harrison.

Is the author you speak of the same Bob Harrison
as you, or another "Bob Harrison" I've yet to meet? [img]smile.gif[/img]

Gettin' ready for apple deployment here,
did OK on overwintering, so I'm a happy
camper. Almonds? No thanks, my bees would
have to go through 3 time zones, and would
get "truck lag". [img]smile.gif[/img]
