No Shortage of Bees Now

In my last post I mentioned concern about the flowers on the tomato plants not being pollinated adequately because of a lack of bees. I'm concerned no longer thanks to the passiflora. With a half-dozen flowers at least opening daily now, the bees have found the backyard in droves. The passiflora flowers make a buffet line for the bees given how large they are -- the bees can just walk around the whole thing.

 
I've seen as many as three honeybees on a flower at a time. If you need a bee attractant and can trellis the plants, here's one good solution.

The other variety of passiflora (Lady Margaret) is blooming now, too:
