Not sure what these are. Anyone? - Nock

According to an app I have on my phone these are viola arvensis or european field pansies.

Incase anyone is interested, this app is called GardenAnswers, you just take a picture of the flower and they give you the closest information on what it might be. I've had good luck with it
I?ll check that out.

Tulip:

I have been around bees a long time, since birth.  I am a hobbyist so my answers often reflect this fact.  I concentrate on genetics, raise my own queens by wet graft, nicot, with natural or II breeding.  I do not sell queens, I will give queens  for free but no shipping.

Euphorbia is cool looking, never seen such.  Thanks MS Seeb.

Great pictures folks.  Lots of greenery and colour.  Awesome. 
Here is one of the red roses on my driveway today.

When the lid goes back on, the bees will spend the next 3 days undoing most of what the beekeeper just did to them.

 It amazes me that you have such a short flow period as compared to places closer to the equator, yet still produce so
 much honey and wax there in the further North of Canada! Y'all do a superb job managing bees. I have watched Ian
 Steppler for quite sometime and admire he and his family's hard work. I suppose it is similar for you and your family.
 Hats off to you hard working folks.

Yes, HoneyPump. I also find it hard to understand how northern hives can flourish in such a limited window as well as ours do in the south with a long window.
On the other hand, I might send you a picture of our withered, dought and sun scorched summer in a few months, as I beg you so send me pictures of blooming flowers.
