Spring is in the air, and so are the bees.

LOS ANGELES, CA — Spring is in the air, and the bees are taking note!

Patch reader Annie Banks snapped this gorgeous shot of bees pollinating a bottle brush plant in bloom in Cerritos last month. Sometimes it's hard to remember to stop and smell the roses. Thankfully, the buzzing bees are here to remind us. And, thankfully, Annie stopped to get the shot and share it with Patch!
