This is a very unusual dry here in the valley.
We had longer and dryer spells in the past but this time night temps have been lower and day temps higher by about 2 C. I wonder if this is making the difference?
Yesterday, maybe for the first time ever, I saw a bee on lantana flowers. Lantana is a weed here and the bees don't work it ( low protein, I understand). They must be desperate to visit the flowers.
There is some rain predited for next week. here is hoping.
