I'm wanting to plant a heavy blooming tree in our yard, but i want it to be attractive to the bees. http://www.fast-growing-trees.com/Yoshino.htm does anyone know if the bees like this cherry?

yeah, but what kind of cherry is that? the fruiting cherries and the flowering cherries are diferent things, kinda like real pears and Bradford pears.
