Becoming a major new force in thepollination
of almonds in California

What do we do?

Pollination is plant sex. Without it there would be no fruit, seeds, nuts or new plants.
Since almond trees cannot get together in the same way as people, they need an agent to do the deed. One of the most important agents is the bee.

Flora and fauna in an area usually evolve together, and then the process of pollination is so natural that we don't even notice it. When we create false environments like almond orchards, we have to consider importing bees to do the job.

Native, wild, solitary bees do the job effectively, efficiently and ultimately more cheaply. The problem has been to get enough healthy bees in the right place at the right time. APC has proved that it can do just that.

 
APC is expert led and, with its proven science and ongoing R & D, will grow organically into the market leader in alternative almond pollination in California.
