Planting trees for earth day

Well to celebrate earth day we planted 4 trees. 2 plum, 1 Bing cherry and a spruce sapling. With love and care we hope to have fruit next yr. Now the bees have something else to pollinate for us. We also have 2 Apple trees in the yard, our neighbor has 3 in hers as well.

Will be interesting to see if we get better fruit due to the bees in the yard. As a side note i fed the bees again and noticed the queen was released from Walter's yellow hive. So i think ill check on the hives tomorrow afternoon. Just a quick pop open check for queen release and strip out any comb that's been built outa whack.

The bees were out in full force today. flying all over getting there landmarks figured out. I looked out my window and saw our neighbor checking out the hives only 8 ft away. Shes a brave soul lol.  Just glad she thinks its nice i have bees.
