🍑🐝 Did You Know? Bees Are Our Spring Superheroes!🍒

Every spring, honey bees get busy pollinating our fruit trees, helping to create the delicious fruit we enjoy in summer.

Interesting Honey Bee Facts:
🐝A single honey bee may visit up to 5,000 flowers in one day. • Bees communicate with each other through a special "waggle dance" to share the location of flowers.
🐝 Around one-third of the food we eat depends on pollinators like bees.
🐝Without bees, many fruit crops including cherries, apricots, apples, peaches, nectarines, and plums would produce far less fruit.
🐝 Honey bees can fly up to 24 km/h while collecting nectar and pollen.

As our orchards burst into blossom, thousands of hardworking bees are helping each flower become the fruit you'll enjoy later in the season. 🌸➡️🍒

Next time you see a bee buzzing around a blossom, remember it's doing one of nature's most important jobs!

🐝💛 Thank you, bees!

Happy first day of Spring everyone 🌸🌸🌸

🍑 Interesting fruit facts for Spring:

❄️ Winter cold helps-but spring frost hurts - Dormant buds can tolerate freezing temperatures, but once buds swell and flowers open, they become highly vulnerable to frost damage.

🌸 A flower can look healthy after a frost and still be damaged inside. That's why many orchards use frost protection systems, such as windmills, frost pots and over-tree sprinklers.

💧 Fun Fact... Over-tree sprinklers form a protective layer of ice that helps keep flower tissues near 0°C rather than dropping into more damaging minus temperatures. Like it's own little igloo 🧊

🐝 Pollination isn't one-size-fits-all. Some fruit varieties can pollinate themselves, while others require cross pollination from a compatible fruit variety flowering at the same time to achieve good fruit set. This is the important job of our bees ✨

🍒 Every piece of fruit starts with a successful pollination event. The better the pollination, the greater the potential for good fruit size, shape, and yield.

🌞 Here's to the sun shining and the blossoms blooming 💖
