Hello, once again, my friends. It seems hard to believe that just an article or two ago I was writing and looking out the window as giant snowflakes drifted past the window. Today, I’m writing and sunrays are beaming in, birds are singing and my lawn desperately needs mowing.  If you don’t like the weather around here just give it a few days, it will change.

As yard work increases, this is the time of year where I tend to get questions about ground bees.  These bees are important pollinators.

Nearly 70% of our wild bee species nest in the ground.  They choose well-drained soils in open, sunny areas.  Conical piles of fine soil particles usually surround their tunnel entrances. 

The Rotary Club of Carrollton will hold its annual pancake breakfast from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. on Saturday, May 9. The club raises money to fund scholarships for local high school students.
