Hi All This morning I spent some time doing a few things around my azaleas and rhodies. The rain sent me in for lunch. I was pleased to see a lot of Bumble Bees and lots of smaller bees also - some looked like honey bees - others like wasps and so on. Of the Bumble Bees, the most common ( 80% as a guess ) were _Bombus impatiens_ friendly big ladies hard at work. _Bombus ternerius_ ( 15 %) are not so big and have just came the last few days. _Bombus terricola_ a few ( 5 % ) - biggest of all but fairly rare. Of the rhodies and azaleas Mist Maiden seems to atract the most customers. Certain plants excrete a nectar on the ovary perhaps the reason but I haven't studied that closely - yet! Enjoy the spring Paul
