This was the lone bee flying around my Angels Trumpets this morning.
I read the other days that a group of gardeners in the Bay Area of California started keeping beehives as a mater of survival for their gardens. I blogged about it the other days about keeping bees in my garden, I'm currently looking into it. My wife is completely against it, because of a bad experience we had with a hive that settled in our roof. I believe that we all must do our part keeping the garden ecosystem healthy, and bees are a major contributors to that ecosystem. Waiting for somebody else to do it may never get done.This weekend I worked on this corner of my garden pulling weeds, next week on to another area. I used to think that pulling weeds was therapeutic, now a days I find it boring work.

the angel trumpets are beautiful!
Rusty, I normally have lots of bees in my butterfly - hummingbird garden. With the cold air, many of them disappeared. However, there are still several around my milkweed, giant milkweed, mango tree, lignum vitae, and other flowers. Hope this helps.

I think they all came over to Arizona. We have a healthy population here. Disturbing what you write. Maybe they have been slow to start....hopefully they'll start visiting again.
