# Almond pollination hive move timing

For the orchards under contract. Orchard coordinates carry into every weather call.

## 1. How far along bloom is

1. Read @[ACIS · Daily weather history](alexandria:rcc-acis-org/weather-history/daily_weather_history) for each orchard since 1 January with gdd_base_f set to the base your grower or extension bloom model uses. Compare with the same window last year.

## 2. Risks this week

2. Read @[National Weather Service · Alerts active](alexandria:api-weather-gov/weather/alerts_active) for the orchards (events "Frost", "Freeze", "Wind", "Flood").
3. Read @[National Weather Service · Forecast hourly](alexandria:api-weather-gov/weather/forecast_hourly) for each orchard. Mark hours that meet your flight threshold for temperature, wind and rain.

## 3. Normal conditions

4. Read @[NASA POWER · Climate normals](alexandria:power-larc-nasa-gov/weather-history/climate_normals) for February and March to see how often flight-friendly days usually occur.

## Write the move plan

- **Bloom progress:** GDD now versus last year per orchard.
- **Window:** recommended delivery dates and the order of orchards.
- **Risks:** frost, wind or rain in the window.
- **Caveats:** bloom thresholds come from your grower or extension model, not from these sources.
- **Sources:** cite every figure to the capability and record it came from. Say what could not be found rather than guessing.
