Guys, Pink Bud is the term and I wouldn't be too confident that the
almond
growers that don't spray actually don't--there are common organic oils,
lime
sulfur and other compounds usually applied about this time. Of course,
these sprays should have minimal (if any) effects on bees--especially if
timing is adjusted to early am or later pm. Just thought I would chip
in my
two cents, no offense meant, just information. Bloom seems early this
year
for sure!
