Trying to get every last drop of nectar before the cold winter sets in.
The bee population, both bumble and honeybee, has been down in recent years. This time of year they are attracted to thistles in bloom. Although we are in a battle to eradicate the weed, the need of the bees and assorted butterflies is in conflict with the need to remove this noxious and pervasive plant.
We'll give them a few more days before removing the thistle.
