Red Bud blossoms are yummy for people and bees. We eat them on our salad.Lately we stroll the fields and woodlands for our daily exercise....however the pace has slowed quite a bit....Ross needs to take note of every plant that may bloom, is in bloom, or has bloomed and will it taste good as honey? In other words there is little exercise and a lot of exploration. Ross notes if there is pollen on the bees and how much, and where the is bee going, where has the bee been? Observation of what most people take for granted is amazing in the case of honey bees.
My Gramps use to dig dandelions up and out of his manicured lawn. Gramp's most hated "weed" next to wild onions was dandelions. Ross, he is thrilled with dandelions...food for bees and good for honey production. One man's weed is another man's gold. (me) LOL
