Fruit trees go with bees….

I am posting information about this as the partnership is so critical for our fruit trees to produce. Just read of the pollination of a Fuerte avocado, caged with a small colony of bees and a control without bee pollination. In the first case, 120 fruits developed, in the second case, 5 fruits developed.

I have attended lectures by Tom Spellman over the years and he is a fabulous instructor. This is a chance for a hands on workshop and not far away (the Dave Wilson nursery headquarters is in mid-state)

I am definitely going Susan
