APIS has designed courses to teach existing crop advisors the fundamentals of agricultural pollination management. These courses introduce advisors to pollination first principles, best practices, practical monitoring tools, applied pollination strategies, bee-better pesticide guidance, and established and emerging technologies. Together, these tools will help advisors support their clients through the critical pollination period.
The Gap
The CCA exam mentions "pollination" once. There is no advisor-level framework for pollination timing, colony specifications, bloom-window spray decisions, or what to do when fruit set falls short. Growers invest in bees and pollination services without a qualified professional managing the outcome.
APIS fills that gap, giving crop advisers the decision-making framework to treat pollination as a managed professional input.
Who This Is For
Certified Crop Advisers and PCAs working with perennial or specialty crop growers who use managed pollinators. If your clients grow almonds, blueberries, strawberries, or any crop where pollination directly affects yield and quality, this credential belongs in your practice.
