America’s beekeepers have faced challenges during the unusually cold and wet winter in California’s farm country.
Almond trees depend on bees for cross-pollination, and bees in turn feed on almond pollen, which helps sustain the hives throughout the bloom. While many people keep bees as a hobby, commercial beekeepers may have hundreds of hives and relocate their bees to pollinate various crops in distinct seasons.
“We’ve got to kick it in gear and work a little faster, a little harder,” Winter said. “It just costs a little bit.” Brandi said he'll take his hives to coastal areas this spring so the bees can forage on a native plant to make sage honey, a premium product that he can only make every few years when there's ample rain.
