Maple tree in full bloom

The maple tree behind my shop is in full bloom and usually when this happens, honey bees are all over it. Have not see a single bee in 2 days of 70 degree temps. Hope the super cold January did not hurt the bees.

Look at red maples this spring, they have little tiny yellow flowers, do you know what deciduios shrub flowers during the winter months?
 
In some areas the neonicotinoids are really doing a number on bees, I think they are banned in Europe for that reason.

Thought they were red that's why Red Maple acer rubra. You don't mean Hazlenut do you?

Well Loren, I don't have to post pics as sms has the flower pics better than I could. That is what my tree looks like.

You are correct, I don't know why I thought they were yellow. Acer rubrum got the name red maple because of the red buds, red flowers and red leaf petioles.
