We are about 5 weeks ahead of schedule on our blooms. What about everyone else?

Have not seen the oaks. What variety are they?

[GSF]

Red oaks mainly. I'm sure the white oaks are as well. Red oaks will have points on the end of the leaves, white oaks are rounded on the end. In each there are sub species or different looking ones.

I am not sure where water oaks fit into it but I have not seen them putting out anything.

Orange trees, wild plums, and Japanese magnolias

Not sure what it is or if bees will go to it but it is popping up around my hives.

Lemon tree is in bloom. Had to pick the lemons off the trees. Saw Red Bud in bloom in Baker County.

Not a great picture but it is of some blooming broccoli and it had one of the feral bees from around here on it. I can tell by the colour.

Here we have red bud's, henbit, dandelions, plums, huckleberry, Japanese Magnolias, blooming and Laurel Cherry has bloom buds not open yet.
Hope they don't froze back.

Just looked up your location compared to mine. It is roughly the same latitude but you seem to be a couple weeks ahead of us.

The Japanese Tuplips are blooming hard around here. Do bees work them?
