These trees are famous for bearing what?
Nestled in California’s verdant Central Valley in the Pacific United States, this almond orchard is in full bloom. If we zoomed in closer, we might see billions of honey bees working hard to move pollen from one blossom to another, doing their vital work to pollinate the trees so they can produce their valuable crop. Early settlers brought almond trees to the valley and found that the trees thrived in the climate in the region.
