We have been pollinating in the local area since 1973. We can set a single colony or multiple colonies. Call early to reserve your colonies to insure delivery when you need them.

It has shown that when setting colonies in Greenbluff they do better if we set them on fruit storage bins to get the bee's off the ground. Pick a good location where the bee's will get plenty of early morning sunlight, remain in the sun for the day  and avoid cold drafts. Remember bee's don't normally start working the fruit blossoms until the temperature reaches 55 degree's. Bees seem to work better if they are located in clusters and not as singles in the orchard. They will move from one flora source to another as the tree's bloom.

The bee lab in Tucson Arizona has made available on the internet the following book. It is being update with the latest research by the USDA. Anyone looking to pollinate or order bee's needs to read this.
