Multi Flora Rose

As I as standing and observing my hive entrances today,  a gentle breeze brought with it an aromatic delight.  What smelled so lovely?  I ventured beyond my hives to the field and found my delighted honeybees as well.  They were all over the many blooms of a Multi Flora Rose bush.  I looked up Multi Flora Rose and apparently they are non native and considered quite invasive.  Invasive or not, they smell delicious and the bees were enthralled with their blooms.
