Considering bees myself, since they seem to be in short supply while things are budding out, like our apple trees, which aren’t budding just yet due to the cold and snow. Have a neighbour about a half mile from me with four hives but still don’t see much activity around my two apple trees until after the blooms are gone.

I have recently sprouted seven Oak trees from acorns gathered in Custer State Park during last years Arts Festival.

I have the same problem with our apricots and apples: plenty of flowers, few pollinators.

And thanks for mentioning the oaks; it reminded me I have to check my peach pits.

How did you start/sprout the acorns? We came home from Texas with some pin oak acorns - really small, and a super large acorn, have not tried to identify it.
