Supplemental Sipping

For some reason, our neighborhood trees aren’t behaving as expected – there are no flowers on the citrus plants… and no acorns on the oaks. Bees aren’t so concerned about the acorns (though our Scuirid friends are beyond peeved), but the warmer than ususal weather has these pollinators out seeking sustenance. We put out a little treat for them, and have had a mini-swarm every day for the past week.
