The Bloom.......

One of my favorite times of the year is here, the bloom!.  Every spring, when everything comes together for about 2 weeks, we get to watch one of natures miracles happen.  Right now, about 80 % of the orchard is in full bloom.  After surviving another winter, the bees are busy at work making sure that all the flowers get pollinated.  When you think about it, thats thousands and thousands of flowers that need attention.  Between the apples and the dandelions (which they love and make great honey) I think thats where the term "busy as bees" comes from.  As long as the weather stays in the present pattern, things should be fine.  Its the sudden drop into the twenties that scares me and for some reason, its seems to happen more often then I would like.  Must be Minnesota!  Heres a few picture for you to enjoy.
