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
