In the early spring when my greenhouse citrus were blossoming heavily I noticed quite a few honeybees working the blossoms when I had the house open. More honeybees than I seen around here in quite a spell.

Late spring I'm not noticing a lot, but then between getting zapped in the freeze a couple months ago and the erratic and late cold weather we've had this last month or so everything is blossoming slowly so it's hard to judge what there is out there.

Since we bought the place seven years ago most of the pollinating insects that I've seen are bumblebees, Southeastern Blueberry Bees, several types of wasps, a number of different butterfly species, and a couple of species of some sort of fly. Very few European honeybees. The number I saw in early spring surprised me.
