[OldNorth] Valerie's tree not blooming

[Dan Quickert]

Val, your tree's blooming would not be influenced by bees - if they were 
the pollinator, they would only be responsible for fruit set.
More likely factors are tree health, sun exposure, recent climate, and 
other factors - some spanning more than the current season.
