I have been slowly been reviving 7 neglected apple trees. Last year the apples were attacked by thousands of bees. They ruined most of the apples on the trees. I am not sure how to go about protecting the apples from these pests. I avoid pesticides although there are other pests also. Due to the variety of apples the season runs from late July into the first couple of frosts.
