The problem is that when you are young your life it is ruined by your parents. When you are older it is ruined by your children.

Love the pictures Heath.
Our bees have been busy for the last month.
Fruit trees are blooming now. Dandelions are blooming. Redbuds will soon bloom so the foraging season is getting ready to go into overdrive here.

I'm not a beekeeper( yet!), but a lot of my friends are. There are three beekeepers in about a mile area around my house. I try to grow lots of plants that both the honeybees and the native bees like. Pics from last year. I am just beginning to see honeybees, they are on my rosemaries. Our redbuds are blooming, too. The wild cherry trees in my backyard should be blooming in a couple of weeks; when that happens there will be a bee orgy going on!

Thank you! People who have never taken pics of bees have no idea how hard it is. I took these with an I Pad. This was in the middle of the summer in 90+ degree heat. My neighbors thought I was crazy, chasing the bees around my yard. The little suckers wouldn't stay still for the shot.
