singing "O Sole Mio." First one I've seen in years. But there was a

I hope that means in your area that the Asian mite and Asian fungal
diseases that has devastated the populations of our beloved Italian
honey bees is coming back....I hope so. I have planted more things that
attract bees than I realized. I desperately want them to survive HERE!
(I have all kinds of pollinators, but the Italians are responsible for
our FOOD!)
