....early spring blossoms throw off pollinators, who emerge too late to do their jobs. That's a drag. Hopefully, others will pick up the pace, but radical shifting of growing and flowering time frames from regular to premature can have adverse consequences. Let's hope things get back to a more normal state of affairs real soon.
(Not holding my breath, but one can always hope...... )
Otherwise, a lovely pic (as we have come to expect from you.) :-)

Works both ways.
Last year the Balkan Mountains experienced an unseasonal warm spell (roughly 20C above normal) which drew the bees out of hibernation. As there were no flowers the bees starved.
If we screw over the bees, WE are screwed, as a planet/species. Pollination, as it were, is somewhat crucial here on Earth.
We aren't collectively treading very lightly here as humans, are we?
Hopefully we'll learn our lessons, and we'll all do better soon.
(Yeah, right...... and a dozen screaming monkeys will fly out my butt!)
Without bees Monsanto will have a global monopoly on crop seeds.
We will all have to bend over, lift our shirts and take what's coming or face starvation.
