Buzzing Partners in Almond Pollination

While almonds are partially self-pollinating, pollinators like honeybees (Apis mellifera) and bumblebees (Bombus spp.) play a crucial role in boosting yields.

Did you know?

A single hive can visit up to 2 million flowers per day during peak bloom.

Bumblebees are especially efficient in cooler weather, making them valuable allies in early spring.

Proper pollinator management is key—healthy bees mean better cross-pollination and higher-quality almonds.
