The Almond Board of California (ABC) is actively coordinating with beekeepers and responsible agencies to ensure proper investigations are carried out on affected hives.
Prior to the 2016 pollination season, a coordinated approach was agreed to by the California Department of Pesticide Regulation and Bee Informed Partnership (a research and outreach program providing technical support to beekeepers that is funded primarily by USDA with support from others) to address sampling needs for affected hives both in the state and those that have moved out of state since bloom.
The Almond Board will be among those providing financial support for analysis of these samples.
