'...I found a trove of records documenting a regionwide network of agricultural rebels: folders stuffed with mimeographed manifestos, impassioned letters between idealistic young students about the health of soil, conference proceedings, and so many newsletters. They put their shoulders to the wheel to change the food system and educated a new generation of farmers and consumers, in city and country alike.'

This paper on avocado pollination:

"Bring beehives into the grove. The University of California farm advisors have usually recommended 1 – 2 strong hives per acre, but Ish-Am (2000) suggests that 1 hive is rarely sufficient, and in many cases 4 hives are required. California growers usually have to rent hives (in 2002 hive rentals averaged $42 per hive), but sometimes beekeepers will drop a load of 80 hives for free if the grower has good bee forage nearby. Bees should have water available; floating boards on ponds or reservoirs enables them to land and drink without drowning"

Avocado pollination season in Ventura County. This is a typical commercial hive operation - they stack hives on pallets and move them by flatbed truck. The downsides here are the sheer density of bees requires each hive to fly a lot farther for forage than normal, and there is a lot of competitive stress on the bees. Typically you only need 1 to 2 hives per acre for optimal avocado set, but they need to be distributed through your grove. Instead, all the bees are in one place and they rely on the bees to forage further and further to get coverage, and they use much more than 2 hives an acre as insurance. #beekeeping #agriculture

"Due to rising temperatures, the Organization of Ibero-American States (EOI) has warned of new threats. The tiger mosquito, from Southeast Asia, has begun to colonize much of Catalonia and the Valencian Community. Tropical diseases such as malaria, Zika virus, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever, West Nile virus, and others are re-emerging in Spain in areas where they were previously eradicated or never occurred, as high temperatures allow the vectors (mainly mosquitoes) that transmit them to persist."—Juanjo Santos

Sunflowers At Sundown

The sunflowers grow fast here in California and they are ready to harvest mid summer.
I captured this image outside of the city of Davis. This field has become a magnet for sunflower gawkers. There is a frontage road along the freeway and for weeks on end cars are parked on the shoulder up and down the road. I hope you enjoy this little slice of the Central Valley.
