The holly is starting to bloom! I went out back to clean off the
satellite dish and heard this loud humming - ????? It wasn;t the
dish, it was over my head - I looked up and the huge holly over
our deck was just a humming and buzzing with every type of
bee and insect around. I have about 18 or so of these big
hollies, in all stages of bud, this is the first to bloom. Glad I put
my supers on - the WebWitch
