Honeybees on the Ceanothus.
The bees are no longer on the neighbouring Pittosporum
(The purple/maroon flowers that are out of focus in the background).

I grew 3 varieties of kale
last year, red Russian, curly-leaved Westland Winter and Cavolo Nero Italian kale,
The Italian flowered first even though they were all planted at the same time.
The flowers are 3 different shades of yellow, the Russian kale is the deepest shade of yellow and the honey
bees seem to like it the most.
There are more bumble bees on the other varieties. Some of the plants are over 6 foot tall!

I
saw honey bees on these Maple flowers but it was a couple of days
before I got back with the camera,
so a photo of the flowers just for the record.
