Busy bee

Looks like the bees are doing their job and we will have fruit this year. The pink flowers are the peach and the white are plum. It'll be a week or so before the pear and apple blossom. Yeah for spring!

I've always "tried" to take these kinds of pictures, so when winter gets too rough, or summer too hot, or life just gets too busy..........you can step back in time for just a minute and see it just as it was. I owe it to the camera, I've always been taking pictures, but never like this.

Great pics CG, but now you jinxed yourself, the "Montana Effect" you are now guaranteed to have a hard freeze or snowstorm shortly.

On the serious side, I saw on the news last night that here in NJ and I hope elsewhere that the Honey Bees are making a comeback, after years of severe decline in populations, we need those bees, without a doubt......

I think my Apple Tree and Pear Trees had almost no Honey Bees, but plenty of Bumble Bees/Carpenter Bees were doing the pollination.
