""I would not have a crop if it wasn't for the honeybee," says Ryan Jacobsen, almond farmer and CEO of the Fresno County Farm Bureau."
""Nothing gets the bees going better than places where they can get flowers, get on a flow and that's really the best thing for them to keep them healthy," Blair says of the bees' involvement in cross-pollinating the almond trees."
""I feel like there's so much that people don't understand and see. 'Secrets of the Bees' shows kind of the live look in of beekeepers and the bees, what we're doing all year," Blair adds."
California's Central Valley hosts a significant annual pollination event reliant on honeybees and their caretakers. Almond farmer Ryan Jacobsen emphasizes the critical role of honeybees in crop production. Beekeeper Davey Blair notes that a large percentage of the nation's honeybees are brought to California for the almond bloom, which features over 100 million trees. Blair highlights the importance of natural pollen and nectar for bee health and mentions the documentary 'Secrets of the Bees' that showcases the beekeeping process.
