<< crop pollination plus the largest and most active
group of commercial and hobby beekeepers and in the spring a large
percentage of all the bees on wheels in the United States who take part
in one of the great wonders of the agricultural world, the movement of
800,000+- hives of bees to pollinate 400,000+- acres of almond trees.>>>
I am curious.  If the American acre is the same as the British, this is 625
square miles of trees - and a lot of almonds.  Where do they all go?  As I
see it almonds play a very small part in my diet, on the occasional cake and
the icing at Christmas.  Can someone enlighten me as there must be a lot of
uses I know nothing of.
