I run a good sized apple orchard which is in full bloom today, dandelions are at their peak of 
flowering too, temps in upper 70's. Yet our large oak trees are humming today, covered with our 
honey bees. The trees are too tall to see if they are getting nectar or pollen. 

I've noticed before that dandelions and other plants don't give much nectar until later in their bloom 
cycle. 

Anyhow thought this was interesting.
