There might be some pears set, not that the trees are big enough to support them. I might end up letting a few grown and bag them and tie the bags to stakes. Comice and Bosc. They both looks like they have some vigor this year too, lots of new growth pushing out.

Finally have a few forget-me-nots. There's these blue ones, and some pink ones.

The old Esopus Spitzenburg tree. I think I transplanted it here in 2012, it was probably 3 years old from seedling if it wasn't just a root sucker if the other tree is grafted on a spitz root stock because it doesn't grow very fast either. So probably 15 years old. I haven't pruned it much if ever except to get wood for the grafts I did. It might be 10 feet tall now with a 4 inch trunk maybe.

Honey bees on apple blossoms. Both of the Esopus Spitzenburg, or Spitz, are full bloom now and everything else is still blooming with some bee activity.

I put the supers on the hives. Had to divide up some new frames between all the boxes. I probably should of had them on the two heavy hives sooner but maybe they'll move some of the nectar up. No issues issues besides my damn long hair in my face but I stubbornly continue growing it.
