Honey, Forage and Almond-Pollinating Honey Bees

Abstract: The pollination of almonds in February and March attracts more than two million honey bee hives to California each year (Champetier and Sumner, 2019). Almond pollination fees—the price for the rental of a hive for the duration of the bloom—depend on the marginal cost of supplying the hives and the demand for pollination services as an input to almond production.
