> Subject: Tulip poplar, holly and black locust trees

> Dear Mr. Flottum,
>
> This is the fourth year I have written to you about the tulip
> poplar, holly and black locust trees.
> Again this year I was very diligent about my observations with the
> help and confirmation from
> some friends and neighbors.
>
> There were no insects that visited these trees again this year.
> That also means no honey bees.
> There was not one person at my last beekeeper's meeting that spoke
> up about the trees even though I
> asked for them to look at these trees; not just to see that they
> were in bloom, but did they see honey
> bees or any other insect on these trees. So I did not bring up the
> subject.
>
> I have passed this information on to several other people with no
> explanation as to why this
> is happening in my area. I did have one beekeeping friend who lives
> about 20 miles north of me who
> said the bees were working the black locust where he was.
>
> No need to publish this. There is just too little interest. Trying
> to talk to others who are not into bees
> or trees is a futile effort. If it continues and there is some
> serious problem then I guess it will come out.
> I do not intend to spend any more time pursuing something that may
> only be a local problem.
