Notes:

Growers vary in the time relative to bloom that they aim to release bees in their fields The standing crop of open flowers will be considerably higher at peak bloom than at 10% bloom. As we’ve seen, the distribution of numbers of flowers per raceme should also be very different when standing crops are different.
