No, but that's not too unusual here as the plants they like aren't
blooming and I never get around to setting out feeders.
What disturbs me more is the lack of bees. The reason I keep oxalis is so
the bees have something early. I've seen only three bees where normally they
are covering the blooms. I fear the GMO industry is creating dire
consequences.

I'm a bit north of Waco and I saw the first of the season just yesterday
afternoon. My feeder is up and full. In addition, the purple martins came
back day before yesterday.

I am in Round Rock, and although I have not "seen" any yet, they are making
short work of my feeder. I put it out about 3 weeks ago. The first week was
a bust. But have seen steady consumption since.

Yes, me too. I watch my peach tree blooming and try to find a bee.
My husaband said he saw them, but I'm afraid to look too closely. I
can't go another year without a decent peach!

Okay, the feeder goes out today. As an aside to this discussion of
hummingbirds, I think I'm going to look into bee keeping. Anyone know
a place in the area which can help with this hobby? I would just be
so sad if bees went away.

Interesting how the president stays and stays, but the bees are
leaving the planet. Hmmm.

Your comments about beekeeping in the other post prompted me to look it
up, but it looks way too complicated. I'd like to encourage wild bees, but
if they're not coming to their natural food source.....

I live in Round Rock and saw my first today. About the bees........bees are
being killed by parasitic mites. A problem across the nation. So give the
President a break, he is not responsible for all the problems of the World.

I wasn't indicating why bees were dying, but pointing out the fact
that bees are indeed being lost, yet he is still not impeached. Sorry
to say, but Bush is part of the biggest lies our nation has ever
endured and we continue to endure. It's not a blow job, friend.
Almost four thousand men and women are dead and tens of thousands
without limbs or massive head injuries. All based on lies.

It is not ONLY mites, it is also GMO's and pesticide useage killing
the bees.

Yes. A few trying to feed at the empty hummingbird feeder hanging up on the
front porch a couple of days ago. Noticed as was installing rain gutter in
front of the house.

It means that someone hasn't reviewed her 8th grade social studies
recently, the part about the terms of various elected officials set forth
in the Constitution of the U.S.

Your just one of these hate filled self-loathing , hate America first left
wingers that somehow
feel a sense of superiority and status with your anger. You also probably
believe that the world is going to end in a few years because of global
warming like so many other faith based eco-religious loonies . Get some
real facts and stop with all this other political crap. You conviently
forget that Clinton said the same about weapons of mass destruction. He
just didnt have a huge attack on American soil but he is responsible for 911
since he did nothing to get Ben Laden when he had an opportunity. Remember
this is a gardening site. Take your agenda to austin politics.
