How to Manage Blue Orchard Bees for Almond Pollination
มุมมอง 3.3K7 ปีที่แล้ว
Osmia lignaria, the blue orchard bee - BOB for short - is a solitary mason bee that lives in tunnels or cavities. Researchers on the Integrated Crop Pollination Project discovered that using managed BOBs and honey bees together improves pollination and increases nut set in almonds. In this video, we talk through how to manage blue orchard bees for commercial-scale almond pollination. Links to r...
How to Use Solarization to Prepare Areas for Planting
มุมมอง 50K7 ปีที่แล้ว
Good site preparation is key to successful germination and establishment of native wildflowers. Solarization uses a clear sheet of plastic laid over the ground to trap heat from the sun and kill weeds, seeds, and pathogens in the top few inches of soil. It’s a safe, non-chemical approach to weed eradication that can be used in both garden and farm settings. When carried out correctly, solarizat...

Successful pollinator habitat establishment is all about site preparation and planning. In this video, we go over the five steps to success to establish diverse, long-lasting perennial wildflower plantings for pollinators. 1. Pick a good site 2. Kill the weeds (before seeding) 3. Choose the right seed mix 4. Seed it well 5. Kill the weeds (after seeding) Weed identification resources: UC IPM We...
Pollinator Habitat 101: Incorporating Flowers on Farms to Support Bees

There are many different ways to incorporate flowering habitat to support wild and managed bees on your farm. In this video, we go over some of the different types of plantings and practices that provide resources for bees and help support crop pollination.
Benefits of Planting Flowers for Bees
มุมมอง 7K8 ปีที่แล้ว
How can we help bees and ensure that farmers continue to get consistent, reliable pollination? This video explores one solution - adding wildflowers to field edges. Planting flowers, especially before and after crops bloom, is a key way in which farmers can ensure their crop pollinators stay healthy.

An Inside Look at Pollination Research
มุมมอง 2.1K8 ปีที่แล้ว
What does it take to study pollinators? How can we figure out the best strategies to support bees and improve crop pollination? Take a quick peek into the day-to-day work on an ongoing national research project on the pollination of fruit, nut, and vegetable crops in US and Canada.
What is Integrated Crop Pollination?
มุมมอง 4.5K8 ปีที่แล้ว
Integrated Crop Pollination is the combined use of different pollinator species and pollination strategies, such as farm management practices that support pollinators, to provide reliable and economical pollination of crops. Scientists around the United States are currently researching the pollination needs and major pollinators of apples, blueberries, cherries, pumpkin, watermelon, and almonds...

    I find it funny when they try to disguise between wild flowers and weeds, What do they think weeds are? Every thing that produces seeds also produces a bloom of some sort to be pollinated. Flowers are weeds! Thats why using herbicides in flower gardens is always a bad Ideal. Kills brood leafs there goes your hostas. Kills crab grass, there goes your exotic grass and some of your other exotic plants, kills dandelions there goes half the blooming flowers in your flower beds, Almost all herbicides reactivate and spreads when it rains,

    If you want a purty meadow break out the Glyphosate to kill everything green that exist on your plot. All of that up with some Diazinon or Miathalon or even Chlordane if you can find it. Those two steps will guarantee that nothing lives in the soil. THEN plant a random mix of wildflowers because who cares what species your local bees, butterflies and moth prefer to utilize. I planted 90% of my half acre using plants i started myself. The first spring i put in 216 starts of Purple Lupine and 216 starts of Purple Coneflower and repeated in the fall. Mind you these were 3-4 inch plants and the loss rate was 60% but six years later the "meadow" is thriving with new stuff going in every year and the original lupine and Coneflowers are multiplying on they're own. I won't go into detail on how i succeeded but from Joe Pye to Goldenrod its all good. I still haven't had any success with milkweed so I've been establishing A. tuberosa instead. If you plant it they will come.

    • @shellisspace

      I'm currently solarizing an area with quackgrass. It seems to have definitely killed it under the plastic but it's still growing around the edges. I do have concrete on one long side and dewalt fabric and mulch on the other long side. One short side I plan to dig out and lay more dewalt and mulch. The other short side I haven't decided yet, 4 x 4 maybe? Thin sheet if metal dug into ground 8 inches?

    Hello! Thank you for doing this great work! I was wondering about the option of not clearing the land of existing flowers. There are a number of wildflowers that are beneficial and appear naturally in my area. Is it possible to simply weed non-bee-beneficial plants and replace them with seeds from better wildflower species? Thank you!

    • @ernestfultz6159
      @ernestfultz6159 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Not my video, But answer to your question is no. When most people think of bee's they generally think of honey bee's which is part of the issue. One hives collects from over a 3 mile radius. so if a person has 10 hives thats more than 30 miles. The honey bee's every one see's are not native bees. Mean while in the United States more than 4 or 5 species of bee's go extinct each year. There is over 2000 native species of bee's in the United States and none of them are honey bee's. Almost all wild native plants create a bloom that benefits bee's, ants. or butterflys. Even though you might not like a plant its beneficial to something. Example if you see aphids on a plant odds are they are being carried to the plant by ants and farmed by the ants for food. If a plant produces seeds it also produces blooms. Only flowers that aren't pollinated are those that have been manually pollinated by humans until they produced a steril bloom, two examples some types of hostas, and almost all daffodils. I find for bee's other than honey bee's the best thing to grow is purple bean hyacinth vines, Or white pearl vines they create clusters of tiny little white blooms that all the native bees like. And if you like humming birds, then humming bird vines.

    • @lauriloo38c
      @lauriloo38c 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Daniela Martins if you only want the weeds to grow, then don’t get rid of them, as you suggest. If you want your new wildflowers to have a chance to take over, you have to get rid of the weeds and an herbicide is the easiest and most effective method since herbicides like Roundup kills weeds to the root so they won’t come back and compete with the flowers for food and sunlight. This is exactly the same reason farmers have to get rid of weeds to grow food. Weeds are so hard to get rid of because they are champions at hoarding all the resources AND create many times more seeds to spread their existence than desireable plants do. If weeds aren’t taken care of thoroughly, they will take over.
