Beekeepers attend to their squadrons of pollinators during the almond bloom near Oakdale, California. The Central Valley produces some 60% of the global #almond supply, which is California’s most valuable agricultural export. This massive #pollination event requires almost a million hives and employs over half the commercial #beekeepers in the U.S., like the ones seen here who trucked their hives in from Michigan.
