Almond pollination

On another topic, the weather has been very strange.  We had a few days of rain and now it is the 60's.  Beautiful weather for the bees pollinating the almonds!  The almonds need bees to cross-pollinate the different varieties.  There are usually 4 different varieties of almonds in one field!  They bloom at various times to ensure a strong cross-pollination.  Thanks for reading!
