I'm in Richmond, Va, and most people have the type of Camelia that blooms in very early Spring like February, but there are other varieties that bloom in November/December/January. I have both, and my bees are all over the ones that are blooming now! Bringing back the bright yellow pollen, and I believe ample necter. Take care!

I'll look the next time I'm out walking to see the blooms which apparently the bees love.Linda Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08089537760868691562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27329001.post-33724032282143005762009-01-01T10:49:00.000-05:002009-01-01T10:49:00.000-05:00Linda, my bees were also bringing in pollen on Tue...Linda, my bees were also bringing in pollen on Tuesday as the high's in Western NC rose to the mid-fifties. As a new beekeeper, I was puzzled, but also glad to see such life in my hive. I don't have a clue what might be in bloom here since spring is so very far away.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27329001.post-63277778718385691422008-12-30T17:47:00.000-05:002008-12-30T17:47:00.000-05:00Hi Linda - I live in Decatur and my bees are doing...Hi Linda - <BR/>I live in Decatur and my bees are doing the same thing - very busy and loaded with pollen. I wonder if it's the camellias that are blooming now that they are having such luck with?<BR/><BR/>I have a dwarf lemon tree that comes in the house in the winter and it is blooming as well, so each nice day I carry it out to the hive and let the bees poke around in it too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
