Lots of early honey bees..but I have a dandelion paradise. Ground bees are abundant. Bumblebees come a little later…we had plenty last year. Also have little tiny bees, probably less than an inch long looking like they are doing the same activity as honey bees.
Lots of apple blossoms around that helps plus the pines are pollinating
