Abstract
<p>Almonds are one of the most economically valuable crops globally and require pollination by insects to optimise the production of high quality, marketable nuts. The Western honey bee (<i>Apis mellifera L.</i>) is an efficient pollinator of almond, and hives are often placed in almond orchards to provide pollination services.</p></br><p> While several studies have investigated pollen collection by honey bees, little is known about the usage of almond and other pollen sources by individual hives during almond bloom.</p>
