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"

Time to move someplace where I can grow my own avocados? 🤔

(I just gave up on my latest attempt to grow my own. But this latest one *did* last far longer than any of its predecessors. That said, even if I am successful in the future, Oklahoma is not a place where I'll ever get enough fruit to sate my #avocado hunger.)
