Bee Season in Full Swing: The February 18 edition of the AgNet News Hour focused on one of the most critical — and often overlooked — inputs in California agriculture: bees. With almond bloom underway across the Central Valley and storms rolling through the state, hosts Nick Papagni and Josh McGill dedicated much of the program to pollination, hive health, and why timing is everything during this narrow three- to four-week window. Papagni opened the show reflecting on recent rainstorms and the importance of moisture heading into peak bloom. While rain is welcome for reservoirs and soil profiles, it complicates pollination logistics. Bees don't fly in heavy rain, cold temperatures, or high winds, and muddy orchards can delay hive placement. With bloom percentages already climbing, growers without secured hives could find themselves in a tight spot. The episode featured an in-depth interview with Daniel Taran, Field Marketing Manager for BeeHero, who explained how technology is changing the pollination game. Traditionally, growers rely on a standard rate of two hives per acre. BeeHero takes a more data-driven approach, using in-hive sensors to measure colony strength and frame counts before deployment. That transparency gives growers confidence they're receiving strong, active colonies — not underperforming boxes. Taran noted that nearly every commercial beehive in the country eventually makes its way to California for almond pollination. Given the scale of the industry, even minor colony losses can tighten supply. Last year's elevated losses due to Varroa mite resistance highlighted how fragile the system can be. While conditions appear improved this season, demand remains extremely high, and theft of beehives — sometimes worth hundreds of dollars each — continues to be an issue across rural counties. The hosts also emphasized the biological side of the story. Bees are responsible for pollinating roughly one-third of the food humans consume. Worker bees live about 30 to 40 days, while queens can live several years. During bloom, bees work quickly and methodically, foraging from the closest flowers and returning repeatedly to their hive. With only one shot at pollination each season, successful bloom directly determines final yields. Beyond bees, the program also featured interviews from World Ag Expo, including Alexandra Duarte's California Senate campaign update and agronomic insights from AgroLiquid and Valent on post-rain nutrition and pest management. But pollination remained the central theme: without bees, there is no almond crop. As Papagni put it, water, labor, freight, and regulations matter — but without healthy hives in the orchard right now, nothing else counts.

This week's AgNet News Hour delivers a fast-paced look at the tools and trends shaping California agriculture, featuring expert insights on citrus nutrition, pheromone pest control, and key Farm Bureau updates. Abe Isaak of AgroLiquid explains how strategic potassium, phosphorus, and micronutrient programs are helping citrus growers boost frost protection, fruit quality, and overall crop resilience heading into winter. The episode then dives into a standout conversation with Steven Pistoresi of Semios Group, who breaks down how pheromone mating disruption—an early-season, low-maintenance, highly reliable pest solution—is rapidly gaining adoption for managing mealybugs, NOW, and red scale across specialty crops. Pistoresi highlights Semios' full-service installation and monitoring model, making it easier for growers to transition away from traditional spray timing and toward year-round automated protection. Between interviews, hosts Nick Papagni the“Ag Meter”, and Lorrie Boyer, unpack the economic pressures facing farmers as analysts forecast a tough but manageable 2026, with some bright spots in livestock and specialty crops.

Matt Swanson used to apply fertility at time of planting in furrow. But then he stopped, for various reasons not the least of which was ineffectiveness. Now he's dabbling back into in-furrow with a 40 acre experiment in conjunction with AgroLiquid. The results won't be in until the combines roll but already the corn is withstanding weather stress much better than Matt's non-treated acres. That, along with agronomic advances and the very real prospect of regulations on fertilizer application is why you should consider in-furrow fertility to spoon-feed your crops for profitable results.
