Summary

COI synopsis: A few unusual approaches to stepping up efficiency in agriculture. Productivity in the fruit orchards depends - ultimately - on the efficiency of the bee in distributing pollen. So why leave such a crucial element to chance? Now, in an English orchard, the bees - as in any efficient dispatch service - are undergoing training to ensure performance is first class.
