Hi Dave M. & All Apr 17, 2013
Looks like I must learn how to make smiley emoticons.
But on a serious note, Honey Bees are not doing well either, so I =
understand. We had some very cold and windy weather this winter, with =
scant snow cover, so I wonder if some Bumble Bees & small wild bees were =
killed by deep frost.
Yt, DW

I also looked along Oak Avenue for "Jean Timpa's" DAPHNE BUSHES, =

careful pruning to liberate the Daphnes.
