Nice photos.

Happily, there are plenty of bumblebees and leaf cutters around my area. My Summit raspberries are ripening (they ripen over about a month and a half) and I've been having them with breakfast. The Meekers are finally growing vigorously. It's been a cold, wet, spring and everything is way behind.

I wish I could get the bumbles to go in my greenhouse to pollinate the tomatos. I have to go in there and buzz the blossoms myself, but I'm getting food fruit set anyway. I was lazy and didn't plant greenhouse tomatos this year because I forgot to order seed.

I pray your bees hold up. They are as important as water.
