At Seffy Grove, we understand the critical role of cross-pollination in producing high-quality macadamia nuts. While wind and other insects contribute, bees are the most effective pollinators. As they collect nectar, bees transfer pollen between flowers, ensuring fertilization and nut development.
To support this, we’ve planted beneficial flowers throughout the farm to enhance biodiversity and provide additional forage for our bees. We also maintain 2 hives per hectare, significantly boosting yield and quality. Research shows orchards with strong bee activity can produce up to 70% more nuts, resulting in larger, more uniform harvests.
