Thanks. I had heard mention of this as a possible factor in Colony Collapse
Disorder - and it seems plausible since contaminated pollen can be stored
for a long time.
A lot of beekeepers are blaming neo-nics, while the manufacturers stoutly
claim it's not so. Whatever the case, farmers
I'm wondering if you are under a common misconception. Trees being loaded are
not necessarily a sign of good pollination - if fact loaded trees could be a
sign of inadequate pollination of the king bloom.
The only way to truly evaluate pollination is by seed count. Slice the fruit
crossways
