The cherry blossom here refers to the flower of the American cherry (sweet cherry) ( Prunus avium </ em>), which is also called “Cherry” in Chinese. The United States also has sour cherries ( Prunus cerasus </ em>), which is mainly used for dessert (Cherry Pie). Michigan ranks fifth in the country for sweet cherry production. The top four are Washington, California, Oregon, and Wisconsin. But 77% of sour cherries are produced in Michigan, so our state is the national leader in sour cherries. Traverse (pronounced “hungry to death”) City claims to be the cherry capital of the world, with a cherry festival from the end of June to July 10 (https://www.cherryfestival.org, from 1925 to the present). Together, the two types of cherries from Michigan add up to an annual output value of $ 19 million.
Cherry bees rely on an index of 90%, and without bees there is only 10% yield. Cherry fruit farmers in Michigan rent bees for pollination, usually in a group of $ 70-85, with about 2 per acre.
Cherries near Lansing in normal years should bloom in early May, one week earlier than apples. But Traverse City is a little bit late, and then the further north it is to the lake, the later. It can be a total of 3-4 weeks.
On May 2, 2006, Mr. Sun and I drove to a Michigan State University experimental station north of Traverse City to help them understand the flow of honey from cherry blossoms. There is a story behind every photo! Next time you are welcome to take flowers with me! Let you enter the history books. . .

1. The sweet cherry flowers are white, the same color as the large almond flowers.
2. There are bee colonies in the cherry forest to pollinate cherries.
3.Bees are collecting honey /
4. However, pollen is also collected when collecting honey, and it is estimated that powder is the main source.
5. This bee is black. It could be a German black bee or a bee.
6. Can’t wait for the bees, the flowers haven’t fully opened.
7. We went to a university experimental station near Traverse City to help them measure the amount of honey flowing from the cherry flowers. The flowering branches were bagged the night before when they were not blooming, and then the next morning, they were taken to get the flowers back one by one to measure the amount of honey and sugar concentration.
8. Dr. Liangxian Sun from Quanzhou University is measuring the nectar concentration of cherry flowers.
9. At the time, they were also experimenting with Osmia cornifrons </ em> from the family Ceramidae to pollinate cherries. This bee was introduced from Asia.
10. Hornbills are mating. There are a lot of mites on drones. It seems that they are either pests or just bees.
11. A bee colony was seen that day, and the bee colony was on a cherry tree.
12.Later (2006.7.2, I have n’t been to the Cherry Festival for more than a decade!) We went back there, went to see, pick, and eat cherries. Red fruit, this may be sour cherry.
13.On the left are four sour cherries, and on the right are three sweet cherries.
14. Mechanized picking.
15. A robot gripped the basics of the tree, desperately shaking the fruit. Yankees are lazy. Lazy people will invent and create, which will save effort.
