Honey bees on Apricot, Peach and Hellebore.

On March 1st the first few Apricot blooms opened. By March 3rd, a warm calm sunny day, it was covered in bees and has been every day since, weather permitting. The apricots and peaches grow in the polytunnels.

By March 10th the peaches and nectarines are also in full flower.

The Hellebores are finally receiving attentions from the bees.

The purple crocus are fading and the primroses begin. Most of our primroses are the pretty yellow one, but Angus propagated this pink primrose from one he found in one of the farm hedges.
