Thankyou. I am not a pollinator, nor will ever bee! But since I get great strong nucs that are made from bees coming off the almonds, it is fun to follow. Long time til flowers here! They look good to me.

any word on bees being released

Ours are scheduled for the 20th, we are usually later than every other bee in California for some reason.

Lots of hives were being moved out in the Chico area ahead of the week of rain that is starting this morning. Fungicides were being applied everywhere yesterday. Just a bit of bloom left on Butte Padre orchards.

Looks like mine will be stuck there for awhile. Bees definitely did better in some areas than others, but they will blow through that almond honey pretty quick now.
