Hmmm?

I’m a little curious about where the bees go and why. Right now my meadow is in full bloom, predominantly dandelions along with many other flowers. The two hives sit right in the middle. So I’m thinking to myself, “Wow, the bees are going to love it!” But no, as I walk through the flowers there’s not a bee in sight! Hmmm?

Just off my deck is a big green bush. It’s currently in bloom with beautiful red flowers. Again, I’m thinking…yum! But no, not a single honey bee, though it’s full of bumblebees and hover flies. Been that way for weeks. Then this morning I walked by and saw it filled with honey bees. Gone were the others. Hmmm?
