This is the month where we start to see the trees and shrubs coming back to life. The big bee nectar and pollen source for my bees are the Red Maples. Silver Maples will be blooming this month as well. Also, we’ll start to see Willow and Forsythia and some of the ornamental trees like Cherry, Plum, and Crab Apple.
