Have you got Avocado growing within 50km of your apiary? Or, are you farming Lucerne in Southern Africa? You could be missing out on this fantastic opportunity with bee farming too.
Looking at the question of whether Avocado trees provide good food source for your bees!
Multiple studies have shown that honeybees and avocado trees rely on each other for a great source of food for the honeybees and also to massively impact the yield of fruit set and pollination effect bees have on the fruit production!
Studies I found show between 70% increase and 300% increase in the amount of avocado fruit a tree makes when using honeybees in the orchard to pollinate avocado trees! This is massive for farmers and food security!
We teach how you can apply this knowledge in practice by finding and negotiating with avocado farmers in your country and showing them the avocado pollination stats shown here.
You can earn a really good income from beekeeping by providing avocado pollination services with just 20 hives! The farmer benefits from much more fruit when it comes to harvest time than they would ever have produced before even with more fertiliser and the best practices they have tried so far...
The avocado plant benefits in a huge way when using honeybees to pollinate the flowers when they bloom. You can make an income from renting or hiring your bee hives to an avocado farmer to boost the amount of avocado they will produce at harvest time by at least 70% more than before.
The extra income the farmer gets for selling the extra avocado makes up more than what they would pay you for hiring your bees!
It's a win-win-win for farmers, beekeepers and avocado lovers around the world! |
