The new beds planted beginning of May are really starting to push a lot of growth, while the established beds are just starting to get into blossom with 5%~10% the average. Now if we can start a warmer dry period that would be great!

Researchers have started making their regular visits to the station. Two more projects, one on the contributions of both bee and non-bee insect pollinators and the other on the range of pollen carried by honeybees, have been added to our lineup of projects. All of the beds except one are involved in a research project of some kind this growing season.
