A different kind of tree that had already dropped all its blooms.

Cleared the new yard last week.  Moved four hives this week.

Hi Duck,

Your third photo from the very top is a dogwood. My photo shows a wild dogwood that I transplanted. They're a pretty tree.

My bees aren't interested in much in my yard. I think it's a spite thing with them. The don't want to admit that I am their owner! I'm the beeKEEPER! Without me they'd be homeless.

No respect.

Image #2 could be 'Hercules-club' (Zanthoxylum clava-herculis) - the bees should love it.  Look for Bi-pinnate leaves.

Would like to see an image of the bark & stems for images #1 & #3.  Rusty blackhaw (or some other viburnum) sounds good; like what nietssemaj  said.  Not so much a dogwood.

The last one has a Sumac vibe to it.  Pinnate leaves and all.  More images for this one too.
