On the bright side, the bees are indeed inactive at dusk. On the other hand, I spent the better part of an hour picking little brown clumps out of the tree and will have to do it for the next few evenings to get most of them. In late fall when the flowers are cut, I’ll have to rake thoroughly under the tree and, in early spring, all my evergreens will get sprayed.
