The orchard was humming with activity yesterday with the calm, warm weather.  Many apple blossoms popped open, ready to be pollinated. 

It was really neat to observe different types of bees pollinating the blossoms.  It is easy to take the bees for granted; yesterday it was quite obvious that they were hard at work doing their critical part in the production of nourishing food. 

It won't be long before tiny apples can be seen as a direct result of the fruits of their work!
