linden flowers

Yesterday in Prospect Park I found the Lindens blooming; these were photographed in the Long Meadow. Where were the honey bees, though? I thought the amazing scent of the Linden would draw at least a few but saw none - perhaps they seek out less narcotic pollen. In other years I've visited that subject in more depth.

So far this year I've only seen 2 honey bees, both gathering nectar from clover in Nelly's Lawn. Bumblers, though, I've seen them.
