Honey Bee On Plum Blossom

It’s nice to see the fruit trees opening up here on Whidbey Island and that the honey bees are visiting them. It’s almost time for swarm season, so I inspected the hive. No cause for concern yet. In the meantime, it is good to see the bees out collecting pollen and increasing the size of the hive in anticipation of the late June blackberry blossoms.
