The Mock Orange next to the house is in full bloom and the bees have found it, though not in the numbers they used to. In the past, I would hear the bees before seeing them. Still, it’s always a pleasure to watch them industriously flitting from flower to flower, collecting pollen and nectar.

Your bees are so different looking than the thousands (yes) that flock to all our flowering hedge plants and raspberries.

Glad to hear you have that many bees around. There’s definitely fewer here.

We usually cut a few to put in a pot inside, but they only last a couple of days.

Thanks Jo. This was a prolific bloom, but the flowers don’t last too long.
