游牧民族赶着牛羊逐水草而居,而迁移养蜂人带着蜂箱逐花养蜂,花开花落,又是一段旅程。听起来是不是也挺浪漫的?

It's about eight o'clock in the morning. It's California, so already the sun's quite high in the sky. It's a beautiful day. It's warm. And I'm just down here meeting John Miller, who's one of the migratory beekeepers that's based here in California and up in North Dakota. His great grandfather invented migratory beekeeping. And today we are gonna get down to the valley and have a look at his bees in place in the almond orchards.
"I'm Adam Hart, and this is Discovery, On the Trail of the American Honeybee. Beekeeping in the United States takes place on an industrial scale. Nowhere more so than in California Central Valley which, as I discovered last year, is home to the largest single pollination event on earth - the Almond Bloom. For two weeks, beekeepers bring their hives, all one and a half million of them, to pollinate 1000 square miles of almond trees. With the valley bathed in snow-white flowers, it's a feast for the eyes as well as for bees. But once the bloom is over, then beekeepers like John Miller have to think about moving on."
"The next task is move a number of these hives into the cherries. The next phase will be going to Washington State apples. During the summer, it gets really hot and really dry in California so we take the hives and drive them to North Dakota to produce honey crop."现在是早上8点左右。这里是加州,所以太阳已经高挂天空了。风和日丽,暖洋洋的。我刚到这里,来见约翰·米勒,一位迁移养蜂人,他目前在加州扎营,接下去要去北达科他州。他的曾祖父是迁移养蜂法的创始人。今天我们要下到山谷里去看看他那些在杏树园里勤劳工作的蜜蜂。
“我是亚当·哈特,这里是《发现》栏目的《美国蜜蜂循迹》节目。在美国,养蜂已达到产业化规模,而加州的中部峡谷更是其中之最。去年我发现,这里是全世界最大的单一授粉活动——杏花盛放期的所在地。为期两周的时间里,养蜂人们带着总数达150万个蜂箱前来,为1,000平方英里上的杏树传授花粉。整个峡谷沐浴在一片雪白的花海中,既是一场视觉盛宴,也能让蜜蜂们大快朵颐。但当花期结束后,约翰·米勒这样的养蜂人们就要考虑继续上路了。”
“接下去的任务就是把这些蜂箱中的一大批移到樱树林里去。下一个阶段则是华盛顿州的苹果花期。夏季,加州的天气实在太热太干燥,所以我们就开车把蜂箱运到北达科他州去产蜜。”
