Subj: recent publications on wild  pollinators contributions to almond crop 
pollination




Dear colleagues  


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.


best wishes


Claire
