The narrow pavement to the lavatory at the southwest corner of our schoolyard is flanked with Ligustrum quihoui Carr bushes. We seldom walk the path except when we can't cross the playground during or after rainy days. Recently their flowers have been in full bloom with a strong disagreeable smell. Today when I passed there I found many bees had come to gather nectar. They were humming around from flower to flower. I saw a few patches of fallen flowers just under the bushes. The bees must collect honey in a hurry between showers these days. For by the time it clears up, the flowers might have all faded.
