Title: Does anyone in the virginia area know what is blooming
Post by: tom on June 30, 2006, 05:28:00 PM
Hello
 
   I am trying to find what is blooming now in my state of virginia my bees are bringing in pollen early in the morning and nector in the afternoon and evening. I know we had some good rain the last couple od days ago and some sourwood is just starting to put out again but when the wind blows you can smell three different scents in the air.
