I haven't seen many bees though, which is slightly worrying. In fact I even went round and brushed the flowers with a paint brush the other day because Bob Flowerdew said to do so. Hope it helps. Apple blossom is one of my absolute favourite spring flowers. I have to stop and admire it every time I see it.
