This is quite interesting.
In my neck of the forest (southern chile) bloom have been delaying quite a
bit since 2003 on.
My bet is that they will come back "to what was usual" in the years to come
(ie. climate change is a natural phenomenon).
Over here, aboriginal pollinators do syncronize with it their aboriginal
host (tree/plant), but that not necessarily means honey bees will enjoy that
syncronicity.
Honey bees are introduced insects over here.
