a silent spring?
Cold winds have slowed the arrival of spring this past week. Our cordoned apples are poised to break into blossom as can be seen from the picture.
But how will our fruit crops succeed without bees to pollinate their blossom? Our honey bee population appears to be in crisis with as many as 50% of hives lost.
Was Rachel Carson right??????

Fortunately we seem to have plenty of bees this spring. We also keep getting blasts of unusually cold weather. We had snow again a few days ago which is very odd for Southern Oregon.
