Apple Blossoms and Honeybees

On what a beautiful first day of May in the mountains. The apple trees are beginning to blossom and the honey bees have been busy. Honey bees are attracted to the smell and the color of the apple blossoms. Honey bees collect nectar and pollen on their legs then carry it to another apple blossom. This process is called pollination and must happen for an apple tree to bear fruit. Looks like a good year for apples!
