I have..... NOTHING! The silver leaf Maple bloomed last week but that has been it. We got about 8 inches of snow two nights ago and the temps are still down in the 20s at night.

I've got baby peach trees (not many blooms)
blueberries (saw a few honeybees in there)
jasmine (do they even work jasmine?)
They are so thick in the red and white oaks it sounds like a squadron of spitfires in the distance when you're standing under the tree.

Ok I just saw my first Dandelion bloom. I wonder if the bees have a hold over pattern to take their turns on one bloom  :roll:
