July 15 - Busy Bee

Busy Bee - Generally multiple bee visits are required to deliver enough pollen grains to complete pollination for apple tree blossoms. Well-pollinated apples have seven to ten seeds each. If inadequately pollinated, the will have fewer than three seeds and will usually not mature.

Ripe Time - Every fruit has a peak point when it stops growing and begins to die, allowing the seeds it has been protecting to be released for germination.

Multi Seed - Different fruits produce varying numbers of seeds. One stone fruit makes only one seed, whereas pomegranates and pumpkins produce an abundance of seeds.
