The rose garden on campus is starting to bloom. I would say about half of the roses are going at it. It likes like mostly the "old fashioned" ones right now. Lots of buds haven't opened yet, so we'll see how it unfolds over the next few weeks. This variety was covered with bees - I tried to take a few pictures and I think they show up OK in this shot (click to enlarge). It's fun to watch them dance around collecting pollen. I wonder if anybody sells Rose honey?
