Bees are flying some, don't know what they are working, I don't see any flowers in bloom. Sunny 60 degrees here at 7:45 AM.

Bees are flying some, don't know what they are working, I don't see any flowers in bloom. This morning I was out early spraying aspirin/vinegar on everything and had to watch out what i was doing because bumblebees were already out. My spray is so diluted that it won't hurt them, though they get fussy about being disturbed. I'm not seeing honey bees.

tom π I was also spraying the aspirin today, and was also noticing bumblebees today, but no honeybees. I have a huge number of tomato blossoms, plus the herb blossoms, that they are all over. I also noticed a type of hornet, plus those tiny wasp like insects on the tomatillo blossoms. But no honeybees. I'm hoping this isn't a bad sign.

The Honey Bee was not found on this continent, but was later imported. When the bees would swarm the swarm would set up housekeeping in a new locale in a hole in the rocks or a building. Then came the mites, and the bees could no longer survive winter without the help of a beekeeper to help keep the pests down. So if you want honey bees, it is best to buy a few hives and set up your own apiary.

"I have a problem...the pup chases the bees that are cleaning up in the garden."
Don't worry about pup chasing bees.
