A female worker honey bee samples the pink flowers of the early blooming okame cherry tree at the Elm Street Park Saturday. These indipensible pollenators are allways welcomed sight as bee populations have dropped in recent years due to mismanaged pesdicide use, malnutrition and disease. For more information on bees contact the local extension office or go to http://www.ncbeekeepers.org or http://www.cals.ncsu.edu/entomology/apiculture/ for the latest bee research.
