There was a report on public radio Tuesday, Jan. 25, on the 'Market
Place' program about bees and almond pollination. Talked about colony
losses due to mites, the need for bees to polinate almonds, and the
prices for pollination. Location was near Modesto, CA. The beekeeper
interviewed reported about 30 percent losses since Sept. Had a short
comment from the California Almond Board, speaking to the necessity for
pollination by bees. Prices quoted were $97 to $100 per hive.
I know some of you have commented about almond pollination. I was able
to find the program on the web, and get a replay of it. The bee segment
was about 7 minutes into the program.
Might try http://marketplace.publicradio.org
