Mom and I drove out to see if the WiliWili tree's were in bloom. It was a bright blue sky and quite green for this time of the year. Quite a bit of Vog which made viewing the Big Island impossible. Yes, The Wiliwili are barely surviving after a introduced beetle has killed hundreds of trees. Another insect was brought in which preys on the larva of the beetle. The Williwilli is a beautiful tree with colorful flowers and trunk. The one stand where we stopped had a large honey bee nest in the tree. (click on photo just above where trunk bifurcates)
