Wild Cherry Blooming

Wild Cherry blossoms are brightening up the woodland - good food for our bees and now a freeze warning tonight... argh...

Pussy Willows

Pussy Willows are such fun plants and they provide early pollen.  My bees love them.

Bees on Buckwheat

I love planting a small patch of buckwheat in my vegetable garden after the corn has finished.  It will bloom in 30 days and gives the bees something to do when not much else is available here. (Buckwheat should not be planted where grazing animals can get to it !!)
