A beekeeping friend keeps two hives here on the farm (I kick in with a bear-proof enclosure and buy about $200 worth of honey per year). Also encourage other pollinators native to the area (provide/create habitat and shelter...haven't indulged much on egg cases, etc.)

And yet, cool, damp nights has slowed everything. Rapid, severe swings, too. An overnight at 46° followed by one of 70° leaves plants wondering WTH?!

Last years hot, dry weather left us scrambling to water, but was very conducive to good yields from most warm-season crops. I expect less this year.
