Default Re: Hood Pear

I notice that quite a few of the people here spray. I was reading something on native bees the other day and apparently they are declining in numbers. After work today I walked through my orchard and looked at blossoms and did see both honey bees and native bees are work as I normally do. I see native bees out during the winter on any warm day if there are flowers about. Pear blossoms are low in nectar, but there are always honey bees on them anyway if the weather is warm.
