Lots of things are flowering (including our passionfruit vines) and the bees are going crazy! An eco-friendly way to get rid of a swarm of bees that are not desired in your home or yard is to call a beekeeper. They have special equipment and can remove the swarm safely to another location where they will happily continue to pollinate plants and make our world a sweeter and greener place. Purchase local honey, and you’ll always have the phone number of a nearby beekeeper right in your kitchen! 
It seems that the April showers (which bring May flowers) are right on schedule this year. The young pineapples are growing, the mango trees are abloom, and the bees are really really busy. The cool nighttime weather has given the lettuces a real boost!
