One Milton birder is showing everyone that you're never too young to do what you love. At just 9-years-old, he's found hundreds of different species of birds in the wild.

looking for a replacement to gallery pear that doesn't grow too tall, turns white, smells amazing, and has incredible wildlife value? try american plum. Last week this was completely white. Just be sure to put it in an area you can mow around to keep root suckers down

sounded like all my neighbors bees were in my redbud yesterday! redbud provide more bee resources than calery pear, dont smell bad, and are at least native.

it was 57 degrees today. had my first chance to look at the bees since the end of November. lost 1 colony to a failing queen, and mice got into 3, but all in all, it looks like we will be coming out of winter with very good survival rates and plenty of stock. fingers crossed until maple bloom!
