I saw some around here when we had dandelions growing in the yard. Right now I am pretty much broke so I can't afford to put in a bee garden this year. Maybe next year.

Passionflowers are gone before I could photograph them - sigh - a fleeting flirtation.

Maypops are passionflowers  They got the name my PopPop told me because the vine will succumb in the fall and then POP like the weasel May arrives and she blooms for another season.
Look here we did maypops on MJ's forum

Everybody has a theory.....
Are the Bees Dying off Because They're Too Busy?
By Susan Kuchinskas, East Bay Express.August 11, 2007.
Are bees dying because factory farms are "overworking"
them? California bee farmers who let their hives take
it easy find their colonies are thriving.

Nobody Home: Everyone Has a Theory Why the Honeybees
Died this Winter. Try Malnutrition.
by Gina Covina
On Alan Wilson's table at the Oakland Farmers' Market,
row after row of glass honey jars catch the early
morning sun that angles down Ninth Street. Some of the
honey gleams a reddish brown, some a paler amber,
depending on the particular mix of flower species the
bees foraged. All of it was produced by Wilson's
colonies, which number a third of what he had last
fall, before the infamous bee die-off that afflicted
growers around the world. "I'd better get the honey
while I can," one customer remarks.

Right - ha!
Hey, Ellen -- we're thinking more seriously about the possibility of getting bees, and I'm wondering if you suit up in on of those astonautical-looking apiary suits when you collect your honey???
