Sea Myrtle is Blooming!

So I'm calling today the official opening day of the Sea Myrtle here at West LA Bee Farm. It's been threatening to bloom for awhile now, but today it looks workable by the bees. Of course as long as there is Goldenrod blooming the bees won't really get too excited about the Sea Myrtle. 

Speaking of bees, they have been incredibly busy. I can see why. There seems to be a really good flow going on here. The goldenrod has been in bloom here for three weeks and looks to have 7 to 10 days left. The coreopsis maybe even longer.

Here's a look at todays Goldenrod. You can see that much is played out. What you don't see in this pic is that there are as many new blooms today, and some that still haven't opened yet. 

Until next update, God bless!
