さくら (Cherry Blossom)
Another favorite in the back yard is the Cherry Blossom tree. It reminds us of “flower watching” or hanami in Japan, and the celebration of the start of Spring.

Spring Bee
Spring has sprung in Utah with cherry blossoms blooming and bees collecting nectar and pollen. This particular specimen looks a lot like the Italian breed I keep in my beehives, and she was doing a great job!
Have a wonderful weekend and Happy Easter. He has risen!

Spring Blossoms
The backyard cherry blossoms are in full-swing despite the mountains receiving 24” of snow the last 2 days, and Snowbird receiving a whopping 690” of snow this season (so far). I love this time of year when the bees are busy, and the outdoor hiking, biking, and volleyball starts up again! Matter of fact, I think I’m ready for summer.
