In flower news, the very first frost bitten Salmonberry (_Rubus
spectabilis_) blooms were seen at monitoring sites. Willow is
well along in blooming as is the manzanita (_Arctostaphylos
columbiana_) along the south coast of Oregon.

If the nice weather continues, reports should start picking
up.

Half-a-bee, philosophically must ipso-facto half not-be.
But half the bee, has got to bee Vis-a-vis its entity...
d'you see?
But can a bee be said to be or not to be an entire bee
When half the bee is not a bee due to some ancient injury?
