The Japanese snowbells have been in bloom for about two weeks. 
The pendulous white blooms of Styrax japonicus are reminiscent of the Carolina silverbell...
but these petals are separated. 
Whenever I went up to a Japanese snowbell to get a closer look or to enjoy the sweet fragrance, I couldn't hear anything but the buzzing of bees: bumblebees...
and honey bees alike. The pollinated flowers will soon give way to showy fruit.
