What's flowering as forage in your area

[blackcloud]

I have a young pear tree with the blossom stinking worse than osr and they're going berserk over it
The two ancient pear trees don't smell much at all unsurprisingly there's little interest

I counted up to 6 bees on a single flower today. Appropriately named the "pin cushion" hakea (from Western Australia).

Do you have still dry in Tasmania?

 

[Antipodes]

Yes Finman, still much drier than normal. The cold fronts sweeping in from the west don't seem to bring the rain far east anymore. The island seems to be permanently drying and ancient unique forests may be lost. The world lost 15 giants...

A few snaps from today. Black Peppermints about to flower (if it rains again) and Eucalyptus Ovata actually in flower. A couple of photos of the dry sclerophyll forest where they grow and there is a photo of some of our furry marsupials (wallabies) coming out to feed at dusk .

, Hawthorne, maple dandelion ,crab apple , flowering really well at home.
The cider orchards on the farm are flowering well and the osr is going over .
The field beans are about 18 inches high .
And the borage , buckweat ,phacelia have germinated .

 

[Goodwood]

Clover starting here now.
Crazy early
Ground very dry.
I’d be surprised if there will be any flow on it this year unless we get some rain soon.
Same goes for the Ling if this carries on through June.

Well I can finally say that the hawthorn in the vicinity of the bees is blooming, everything else is leafing up properly now and even the local farms are cutting grass for silage. must be nearly summer.
