I'm in eastern Iowa. Bees are very actively gathering pollen, last week bringing in lots of yellow and white, mostly yellow today as I was watching. We have an orchard with numerous apple and cherry trees, very much in full bloom, dandelions are covering the ground, lilacs, early perennials, flowering crab, redbud--all in bloom. I see none of my honeybees on any of these. Maple, birch and alder are predominant trees producing pollen. Is this the source? One reason I started bees is to help pollinate my vineyard and orchard as well as garden, once things start to bloom there. I learned bees don't really pollinate grapes and now it looks like they really aren't doing much for my orchard either. Is this typical?:scratch:
