Hi Jim & All, Apr 20, 2007
A few days and higher temperature makes all the difference. When I
came back from a chainsaw workout at about 2:45 today I could hear bees
in the late Crocus patch from 20' away. And my hearing is poor.
In this ~ 3m x 4 m area, where I have let Snowdrops, Crocus and
Vinca go wild, there were an estimated 2,000 bees. I have never seen
them this dense or active on Crocus.
