Honey Bee Pollination Inquiries This Spring

摘要

I revived a few custom pollination inquiries this spring (2014); a couple regarding hybrid canola, one on birdsfoot trefoil, and one on blueberry. Often questions on custom pollination are about fees, stocking rate, and any benefit. With a strong honey price most beekeepers are primarily concerned with bee health for honey crop and wintering success but we do get some questions on pollination. I also get calls from growers looking for colonies to put on a field and then I call beekeepers in the areato see if they're interested.
