A strong almond bloom begins with strong honey bee colonies, and Real American Honey (RAH) has been helping growers maximize bloom success for years. By providing high-quality hives and professional pollination services, RAH ensures colonies arrive healthy and ready to work during this critical period.

Honey bees are the backbone of almond pollination, visiting thousands of flowers each day to set nuts and secure consistent yields. Their health during bloom directly affects the success of your crop—from nut set and uniformity to overall orchard performance.

The Impact of Bee Health on Bloom and Yields

Almond trees depend almost entirely on honey bees for pollination. Healthy, active colonies deliver:

• Consistent Flower Visitation: Bees move efficiently through the orchard, maximizing pollination.
• Strong Nut Set: Proper pollination ensures flowers develop into healthy almonds.
• Reliable Yields: A well-pollinated bloom supports larger and more uniform harvests.
• Hive Strength for Future Pollination: Colonies that remain strong after bloom are ready for upcoming crops and honey production.

When bees are stressed by poor nutrition, environmental factors, or exposure to chemicals, bloom performance suffers. Protecting bee health during this window is essential for both pollination success and long-term hive strength.
