Have this tree just opposite our driveway that is in flower, very strong scent and it's buzzing there are so many bees on it, honey bees and bumble bees
Anybody know what it is? We're in MA

As a matter of interest how do you embed a picture in a post? This pasting a link is real cludgey.

linden tree (aka basswood) Lots of different varieties - can't tell which from the photo. GREAT honey tree!!

Thanks
I guess I now know where the very light yellow honey I get early in the season is coming from.

Thanks, I'd found that button before but as it pre-populated with http:// assumed I'd have to publish to a web server first.
Are you saying I could just replace the http:// with a source on my local machine for example
c:\my-pics\image1.jpg and that would work?
When I tested that it did enclose the string in img braces but I hestitated to complete the post as I haven't worked out how to delete a post if I mess it up.

Has to be a pic on the net. I don't think you can upload pics to beesource. You can with doc, kml, pdf, and txt.

Also - can't delete posts. Only moderators.

That's good to know... we planted two of these in our backyard, before I ever would have imagined I'd be tending bees. Nice to know that they're good for my girls.
