Someone should post some encouraging pictures of colourful spring flowers and fresh pollen dust covered bees please .....
I am anxious to get my 2020 bee season started but at the moment have to admit that am feeling a little depressed.
Old Man Winter will not be releasing his firm grasp here until beyond next Friday, well into April. :(

At least you can take solace in how you are helping those of us that are into spring when you monitor and answer questions while waiting. I appreciate what you offer . . .

Tulips, tulip tree, red bud tree full of bees in background. I can hear the excited bees in the red bud tree.

HP, very soon for you to see, hear the same. Hang in there. Soon, very soon: flowers everywhere you look.

They have been in a crab apple in my yard past two days.

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

Wow Van - that crabapple is gorgeous!

Don't worry, HP! We'll save you! *Sound of footsteps running away, distant camera snapping pictures, and footsteps running back.*

Here's some bees for you as well.
