Bees have been the buzz at the Arboretum this spring.
Our gardens have been host to a handful of bee swarms so far this spring. Interested in learning more about the native bees of NC? Check out this article from the @NCWF https://t.co/FrBD3cDO3G

There are so many wonderful sights to behold in the gardens right now, but the Malus ‘Lousia’ weeping crabapple has been stealing the show this week. Come see her in all her glory between 8am – 5pm each day. This is NOT one to be missed. https://t.co/l7weAlHnJE

Honey Bee swarms are common right now but not dangerous. If you suspect you have a swarm Do NOT spray it with water or other chemicals. Please contact the New Hanover Country Beekeeper's Association for safe removal: https://t.co/Kzu4hGwmG8 https://t.co/e6fATrc9TC
