...before the sip.
There have been recent reports of "collapsed hives", and a shortage of bees for pollination. But I saw bees swarming around flower beds near the doctor's office yesterday. They must be the exception to the rule.

It's true, Mary. And it's so sad. We cannot do without them.Reynaldo D. Reyes February 17, 2015
Wow, great magnification, you must have gotten pretty close to this beauty. I sure need them to get my lemon shrub flowering again. It sure feels like spring with the temps last few days. #11249186Mary K. Robison February 17, 2015
Thanks, Rey. I hope that, at the very least, a few bees will have a party around your lemon shrub. As for our blue skies and sunshine, I try not to take them for granted. Those poor people on the East Coast! And in the Midwest! And ...anywhere but here, it seems. #11249219Nadia Paul February 24, 2015
