February means Almonds

Season 7 Episode 10: About Bees, Culture & Curiosity Podcast – February means Almonds

Most California almond pollination takes place in late February and earlier March. In this episode, we look at the world's largest mass migration of livestock and the problems honey bees encounter during pollination season. We also examine how almonds are pollinated (looking closely at the flowers) and why honey bees remain essential to get the job done.

Recorded in Calgary, Alberta, Canada in February 2026.
