Recently, swarms of stingless bees have been feasting on the flowers of our palm trees. Underneath the palms, there are many, many palm seeds.
I took photos of the flowers and the seed pods and made a short video of the bees.

Gardening in the tropics is obviously much different from gardening in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia, where we came from.
Fallen palm branches are one garden chore that is certainly different. As the palm trees grow upwards, the lower branches turn brown and drop off. We regularly pick them up and put them in our garden waste pile for collection about twice a month.
We use Mario Vargas, Eco-Decoraciones Jardine, 2446-7201, for our garden trash removal. Recently, we had a huge pile of palm leaves and garden bags and were certain he would need two trips to remove it all. But, no, all of it went in the back of his truck. The garden bags contain grass cuttings and plant trimmings.
