My apple trees are bloomed out. Without any insects to pollinate. I've been doing my best big bee imitation, trying to pollinate by hand. Wonder if it would help if I shook my tail and kept humming Bzzz!, Bzzz!, Bzzz!

I don't know about shaking your tail but it wouldn't hurt to "shake the trees".

Wonder if it would help if I shook my tail and kept humming Bzzz!, Bzzz!, Bzzz!Well if you do, you need to get video of it. For informational purposes, ya know.....so people can learn from your technique. My lemon trees started blooming while in the garage! If was warm enough a couple weeks ago that my lettuce and spinach started bolting.

Dang Jolly, we were just about to sit down to eat, but now I just don't have any appetite.

If its worth the effort to you, greenhouse growers sometimes use an electric toothbrush to pollinate. Has your last frost likely passed?

Maybe not. Or maybe so. It's been a bit of a warm winter, overall.
