Migrant workers and honey bees play key roles in Southern Illinois orchards each year. Wayne Sirles of Alto Pass notes one hive per acre, with 1000 bees per hive, brought in mid April and stayed about a week. Bees are rented from Wisconsin Pollination Co op to boost pollination before spraying. Sirles emphasizes weather and hail as crop risks, noting bees cost $10 per hive for seven days and are moved after a week. The article also mentions Scottish law’s not proven verdict.
