Yellow bells spotted today.

66061: Depending on variety, crabapples can bloom now through April.  The bees found one variety blooming yesterday.  They also found some hyacinths in bloom.

Peach and pear are finishing up here, redbud is also waning. Holly, interestingly enough, usually blooms in February, is blooming here now. It got some freeze damage but has recovered

Red buds are just starting to open here.  Fruit bearing Pear trees have been blooming for about 4 days.  I am seeing red pollen being brought in.  It's the henbit, I believe.

Mesquite is finished here, ragweed and snow on the prairie due to start. Fortunately most of it is ragweed, makes better honey

Bees were bringing in nectar and pollen today at apiary in another county.  I would think, by the color of the pollen, it was Goldenrod.  Goldenrod is supposed to smell like dirty gym socks, but I didn't smell anything. I only saw boneset and goldenrod blooming on the trip out there.

Now I think the pollen might have been ragweed.  It's prolific here and one wouldn't notice it was in the area without a closer look.  It's blooming like crazy here.

Well, this is just wrong.  Dec. 26 and the pussywillow buds are showing color.


I contacted a beekeeping friend that lives about an hour away and she sent me a similar picture of her pussywillow.

66061:  The bees have been working the Witchhazel for a couple of days now.  I would presume nectar as pollen baskets were empty.  I took a quick peak at the landing boards today.  Some of the colonies are working Silver Maple for pollen.  Not all the colonies got the Silver Maple memo because some are still at the bird feeders collecting dust.
