Thanks Margaret..

I know the tulip tree has tons of flowers and is full of nectar..........
the trees produce honey as well..........
I know the hummingbirds have been around too but nothing like the bees..........honey bees and bumble bees but mostly the honey bees I would say
shocked to see this many bees to be honest........

I had a lady here from the conservation authority since they are trying to make this a heritage tree...........and she was surprised at all the bee activity at the time........
most of the flowers are on the canopy but some are lower..........
all she said is a very healthy bee population.......... and that is a good thing likely
