Personally, I think that the most profitable agriculture in the United States is the big almond (now called Badanmu). When they went to their meeting, everyone was in suits and leather shoes, and they said that they would take a 60-day vacation in Europe as soon as they fell! Their output value per mu is actually not as high as that of blueberries. At about $ 4,000 per acre (= 6 acres in China), blueberries can reach 8,000. But blueberries may be expensive. One person cannot grow 600 acres, and 60 is over. So the first is that the planting area can be large (there are thousands of farms, or larger). Second, large almonds can be stored indefinitely, waiting for good prices. And apples and blueberries are too expensive to refrigerate. Third, it is mainly exports (about 70% are exported), and there is no external import pressure. For example, one year Chinese garlic was exported to the United States, and all garlic farmers in California went bankrupt. The total output value of large almonds in the United States in 2012, 13, 14 was US $ 4.863 billion. This number is comparable to the annual profit of the three major automobile manufacturers in Michigan.

The pollination fee also indirectly proves the high profit of big almonds. For example, the pollination fees for apples and blueberries in Michigan did not exceed $ 80 per group, while large almonds reached $ 180-240 per group, and now averages about $ 200. What concept is this? Beekeepers work hard to shake the honey for a year, and it is difficult to reach $ 200 per swarm. Pollination earned 4 weeks. Therefore, many large bee farms now rely mainly on pollination fee income. Zh Because of the large area of ​​large almonds in the United States, about 70% of all bee colonies (about 2.5 million) in the country go to California for pollination every February! Two clusters are needed per acre, and some clusters are used by three farmers. In 2006, I promised my university classmates to take him to see the flowers. On February 22, I flew directly to San Francisco and drove to see the flowers the next day. Because jet lag is very sleepy all the way.

1. The white flowers in the mountains and mountains are spectacular when viewed from the plane. Going to aerial photography next time.

2. There are no other flowers on the ground. Why is there no dandelion? strange.

3. The beehive is among the flowers.

4. Work hard to collect honey. But there is not much honey.

5.There is pollen in the pollen basket.

6. Also with powder to collect honey.

7. Various poses.

9. Bee shots are not enough.

10。 Take a group photo with fellow Chen Feiyue. I was pretty good when I was young! :)

 

11. Later, in 2007, I went to see flowers and experimented again. One photo also won the 3rd prize in the International Bee Photography. It should be similar to the photo below.

12. Tired, lie on the ground covered with petals for a while. This time it’s called Petal fall, and it’s time to start taking medicine. Pears, apples, etc. are all taken at this time.
