My sister-in-law has just moved into her new home that has a 2 acre orchard which will need polinating
One downside is that they live just over an hours drive away so I'll have to leave them there more or less unattended for the flowering season. I'm figuring flowering will start around late April to the begining of May and last for about a month, right at the start of swarming season.
When should I take them to the orchard and what precautions would you guys suggest to prevent swarming?
