The time varies with the humidity in the air. https://saraguitiprado.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/2016-10-19-14-38-581.jpg2016-10-19-14-38-58https://saraguitiprado.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/2016-10-19-14-38-341.jpg2016-10-19-14-38-34Once they're at the right percentage, we vacuum seal the beans with a label. Here we have the open-pollinated branches from tree number 3 at Mr. Papo Luis' farm. The beans have to rest for 90 days before we continue with the processing. https://saraguitiprado.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/2016-10-18-15-48-591.jpg2016-10-18-15-48-59Once they have fermented, we wash the mucous membrane off the beans. The mucous should come off easily, if the beans have fully fermented. https://saraguitiprado.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/2016-10-17-16-32-061.jpg2016-10-17-16-32-06We put all the beans in a bowl with just enough water to cover, so that they can ferment for 24-48hrs. We know they're ready when the bowl smells like overripe pineapple.https://saraguitiprado.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/2016-10-17-16-31-491.jpg2016-10-17-16-31-49Sometimes, we collect quite a number of berries, so we keep them all separate...bowls and cups become scarce at the field house. https://saraguitiprado.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/2016-10-13-16-20-441.jpg2016-10-13-16-20-44We measure the humidity with a grain humidity reader.

I thought this was a great example of a flower with a HUGE stigma (all white part sticking out in the middle). You can also see how tall the anthers are (see the beige https://saraguitiprado.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/20170208_131933.jpg20170208_131933Here you can see a bunch of flowers. All different shapes and sizes...and we're trying to see if that affects its pollination and a bee's attraction to it.https://saraguitiprado.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/20170211_092733.jpg20170211_092733https://saraguitiprado.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/20170211_092727.jpg20170211_092727https://saraguitiprado.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/20170211_092748.jpg20170211_092748A look through the refractometer shows you what it looks like inside. When you put nectar on the screen, a white section begins to move up from 0 to the level of sugar. We've found C. canephora has a Brix level of about 25-27. Sweet stuff!https://saraguitiprado.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/20170210_102704.jpg20170210_102704Here you can see me using a Hello kitty electric toothbrush to vibrate the pollen off of the flower's anthers.

The tricky part is keeping the bees off of them, while we pick the anthers off! These are C. canephora flowers Photo credit: Rafael Chaparrohttps://saraguitiprado.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/20170208_114134.jpg20170208_114134Here you can see me using a microcapillary tube to 'suck' up the nectar. The tubes are a certain volume (in this case 15 micro-liters). Knowing how long the microcapillary tube is, and how long the nectar amount is within tube, we can calculate the volume of nectar within the flower.

Coffea canephora (pictured here) has a lot more nectar than Coffea arabica. can see the glistening ball of nectar at the base of the corolla tube.
