Ohio
Buckeye
Every year, just after the Dandelion
bloom, the Ohio Buckeye, also known as the Horse Chestnut,
explodes with blossoms that are a veritable feast - an orgy
of pollen for the bees. For about 10 days, standing under
one of these fabulous trees is like being transported into
a beehive. The bees go about their business and are not
the least bit interested in your presence. Later in the
year when the seedpods develop into nuts, the squirrels
raid the tree. Occasionally, when the squirrels are stressed,
they like to eat the bark of the Ohio Buckeye. Needless
to say that does not win them any Brownie points at Medovina! |
