I wonder if the problem is with the trees or that there is a more desirable nectar source blooming at the same 
time. If there were dry conditions, maybe the other source provides nectar under adverse conditions.

Or it could be, as we are experiencing in Maine, that everything is blooming at once, so there is a lot to 
choose from. Last year we had a long spring, with progressive blooms. This year is an instant, short spring.
