After half hour of looking yesterday I found one bumble bee & one honey bee in our apple orchard which has 30 + full grown apple trees in full bloom. I was thinking that the warming of temperatures would bring them out but no go. & all organic no spray here.

I finally saw a couple of honeybees in town on some ornamental crab
apples. I haven't seen even one on our fruit trees at home, but finally
did see a single bumble bee and a few smaller bees on apple blossoms. I
sure hope that there are more of them out there that I didn't see, as
everything seems to be covered with blooms. Last year it was almost
mid-June before I saw any honeybees at home.
