Hive removal boosts production for almond growers.

Researchers have found improving the timing of removing bee hives from almond crops during pollination can help improve production.

The nut is highly dependent on insect vectored-cross pollination, with about 215-thousand hives transported into the major almond growing regions each year.

Rural reporter, Eddie Summerfield caught up with New South Wales D-P-I Technical Specialist Elizabeth Frost to hear about the latest research.
