It’s in May that the phenomenon of olive tree pollination occurs.


The blooming lasts about a week and depends entirely on weather conditions. Olive blossoms do not attract bees; it is the wind that carries the pollen!


Rain, excessive humidity, strong winds, or a lack of wind all hinder pollination.


Did you know? Only 5 to 10% of the flowers result in olives!
