I've actually seen some bees on our apple trees! Sorry for the iffy iPhone pictures, but if you're in the Worplesdon area these could be yours

unlikely!!!!!!

bees, but not honey bees? Mining bee.....? Nice pics

Ha - I do remember thinking this one was a little on the small side! Ah well - shame the best pics of the bunch was of the wrong bee.

Still nice to see though, I thought all that blossom was going to waste at this rate!

If anything's pollinating the blossom it isn't going to waste.

 

[Midland Beek]

Yeah - not a honeybee. Honeybees at this time tend to much prefer dandelion and oilseed instead of apple.

Mine have been plastering one of my apple trees which is in blossom for a couple of days now, collecting a beige pollen
Other apple trees yet to open up.
However several large sycamores humming away with frantic activity,even though its pouring with rain.
