I'd not had occasion to notice bees this year - and after the Easter Big 
Freeze Disaster, it didn't matter if 
anything had been pollenated or not.

But, this morning I was parked out in the pasture with the cows watching for 
signs of estrus in the heifers, and 
noticed that honeybees were very present, and all quite busy working the 
blossoms of the meadow buttercup which 
has taken over some of my pastures in the last 2-3 years.

I'm not aware of anyone in the neighborhood who has hives, so I presume these 
are all wild honeybees.
