Default Re: Peach tree pollenization

Bees start their pollen runs very early in the morning. So unless you're out there from pre-dawn to dusk surveying the action, I'd relax. For the future though, my father taught me to put a plant in the orchard that bloomed year-round; in our case rosemary. This way the bees are already coming to the orchard on a regular basis when the fruit trees bloom. And by-the-way, we put the rosemary in a pot so that the plant did not compete with the fruit trees for root resources.
