Ep. 1385 Bee-ing there for 900,000,000,000 Blossoms.

When the fruit and nut trees in California’s Central Valley explode into mile upon mile of blossoms, the bees simply must be there!  That leads us to ask:  How do bees get to bee-ing there for all those blossoms?  The Food Chain Radio Show - Podcast with Michael Olson hosts Jason Miller, Apiarist, Miller Honey Farms, Newcastle, CA, for a conversation about pollinating the West's fruit and nut trees.  Topics include the annual migration of the nation's apiarists to the blossoms of California's Central Valley; how the apiarists' pollination services changed the nature of the beekeeping business; and what the future might hold for the nation's honey bees and their attendant bee-keeping apiarists.
