Jim are they bringing in pollen from the maples? If so, what is the color?

We've got callery (Bradford) pears and wild cherries blooming.  I know people say the feral Bradford pears don't produce anything, but I see bees on my trees all the time, so . . . .

The willows are really greening up this week and forsythia is brightening the landscape around.

The redbuds have blooming for about a week now, and the dogwoods are starting.  We saw some silver bells at the college, but no bees on them.  Lots of feral wisteria in the margins.  Looks like it's to be a good azalea year.

Blackberries and clover are in full bloom. I didn?t see any 🐝 on either of them which means something better is in bloom. I saw small buds on a Blackgum tree so they may bee in bloom in the swamps.

Dandelions are starting to bloom.  The clover isn't blooming yet, but it's coming up and so is the wild mustard.  They will be blooming soon.

Clover is blooming but I don?t see any bees on it. Too many other good flows going on.
