Busy times at the bee hotel. Here are two male red mason bees (Osmia bicornis) waiting for the sun to come out. Mason bees like to shelter and sleep in the tubes and will come out when the sun is warming the bee hotel. That is why it is best to position the bee hotel so it faces east or south-east, to catch the first rays of sunshine. #bees #spring

New River Gorge National Park and Preserve yesterday (today there are more clouds and the colors of the vegetation are less distinct).

OK, back to work. Since it's nearly apple-blossom time AND a nice day, we got busy and seeded up the "Pot-O-Carrots" for the season. It's a large planter, about 19 inches in diameter and 15 inches deep, holding about 12 gallons (43 liters) of potting mix. We use pelleted seed and plant in concentric circles with about ½ inch spacing. Pictures are an attempt to show what we do and what the scale is.

I don't divide a year into four seasons, instead I notice the change through blossoms. The blossoms don't follow a chronological order. They overlap, reverse, even repeat sometimes. Each mountainside has its own climate. The rocks can be burning hot on one side and covered with snow on the other. Here are the blossoms of a climate that's warming up:
1. Crocus time is cool and crispy. The blossoms can poke directly from the snow.
2. Primroses come after crocuses, although sometimes they meet each other on the same slope. Then crocuses dissolve while primroses stay. The air is warmer and it smells of soil and plants.
3. Anemone time means you can be confident it's warm on their field. You might need sunscreen, and even look for shadows to chill in.
4. Hyacinths arrive when you start keeping the solar zenith in mind, and making sure you've got your cap on. The bees are everywhere, and the air is so sweet that you want to eat it with a spoon.

TIL: in Zürich during spring they burn a snowman. My next visit plan will be around this time.

Brutal: "The faster his head – which is filled with fireworks – explodes, the finer the summer will be. At least that’s what the people of Zurich say."
