When the fruit and nut trees in California’s Central Valley explode into mile upon mile of blossoms, the bees simply must be there! That leads us to ask:
How do bees get to bee-ing there for all those blossoms?
The Food Chain Radio Show - Podcast with Michael Olson hosts Jason Miller, Apiarist, Miller Honey Farms, Newcastle, CA, for a conversation about pollinating the West's fruit and nut trees.
Topics include the annual migration of the nation's apiarists to the blossoms of California's Central Valley; how the apiarists' pollination services changed the nature of the beekeeping business; and what the future might hold for the nation's honey bees and their attendant bee-keeping apiarists.
