Message: [QUOTE="Soliloquy, post: 9959, member: 524"] Hm, I'm really not sure about the current state of the honey bees in my area. I know they started a hive at the local botanical gardens some years ago, but I believe it failed over the winter. And though this area is somewhat urban most people have small yards. Still, obviously things manage to get pollinated, so there must be enough wild bees around. I'm excited about the Caville Blanc as well! I love the idea of preserving a historical line of trees, not to mention they say it's the best apple for making tarts and pies. My sister is a prize-winning apple pie baker, so I'm looking forward to trying her honey apple pie recipe with them. Have to be patient though, I can't let the new tree bear fruit yet. [/QUOTE]
