Blueberries in bloom, thank goodness for bumble bees because I never see a honeybee working them. Nectarine just finished blooming and the wild mustard starting up too. Dogwoods, crabapples, redbuds and hoping we get a good bloom on the black locust.

Dutch and white sweet clover, milkweed, Russian sage and chicory in bloom here. Jack

Forgot the chicory. It has been blooming for a couple of days.

Watched my bees working the vitex at 7am this morning as I was leaving for work. 8pm tonight, still working. Standing next to the tree you can hear the buzz. They are working the Culver's Root tonight along with some native bumble bees.

Moon flowers. Jack

66061 We are about to wrap the nectar flow up here. There are perennials, herbs and gardens still to gather nectar, but the major flow is over. Vitex is still being worked from sun up to sun down by honey bees. I am seeing a couple of new species of native bees on the vitex this year.

Vitex,Russian sage,Sumac,Moon flowers, Dutch clover. I rarely ever see honey bees on our iron weed? Jack

I observed this in Golden, Co. on July 30th. I believe this is Motherwort. Even though the picture doesn't reflect it, the plants were covered with honey bees, native bees and so forth.

66061: Goldenrod started to bloom a couple of days ago.

66061: Sweet Autumn Clematis
Rather invasive as it blankets over other vegetation. In some areas that it has taken over, it makes a beautiful display.

66061: Autumn Joy Sedum. My bees are working it hard.

I took this picture on 9/1.

66061: Found this blooming in between the driveway and the street. Blue sky or Azure aster.

I am sure it has been mowed, driven over, and had the recycling bin parked on top of it.

brooksbeefarm · « **Reply #217 on:** September 03, 2017, 11:33:27 pm »

Vitex, Moon Flowers, Goldenrod, and some aster starting. Jack

Les · « **Reply #218 on:** September 05, 2017, 09:04:26 am »

Anise Hyssop still going, Sedum, Joe Pye Weed and my Flat Head Goldenrod. Did not pinch back my Mums this summer, so they should bloom soon.

66061: New England asters are starting to open. They are covered in buds.
For now, the sedums are being worked hard by the bees.
