>My initial thought is where do they get the startup pollen.

I was wondering the same thing.

If it mechanically harvests flowers and separates the pollen from those, wouldn't a grower need two sets of trees? One set for flowers to be harvested and one set to be pollinated?  Wouldn't that double the cost of tree-care at least the first year to get started using this system?

How much does it cost??  It might still be cheaper to rent bees...

Any thoughts Randy?
