<DIV><BR></DIV>Dear colleagues
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Almond production is a $3 billion industry in California that
produces 80% of the global almond supply, and it is highly dependent on
managed honey bees for its success. Please find attached 3 recent
publications on the role of wild pollinators in almond crop production.
The one that came out today in Proc. Royal Society of London - B
demonstrates how interactions between native wild pollinators and managed
honey bees enhance the effectiveness of honey bee pollination, leading to
enhanced fruit set. The earlier publications demonstrate how wild
pollinators are complementary to honey bees in how they forage within the
tree, and provide enhanced pollination services relative to honey bees
under poor weather conditions, and the role of natural habitat in
influencing wild pollinator abundance, diversity and services on farms.
Together, these papers help make the case for the important role of
wild pollinator diversity in food production.</DIV>
