We have the clump of trees or bush at the farm. We noticed there were bees all over this tree or bush. It has some kind of blossom I think that is attracting the bees. Any ideas?

Sure looks & sounds like it. Beekeepers like finding a concentration of basswood in an area. Makes awesome honey I am told... :cool:

Thanks all, yea as soon as I got close, I could hear all this buzzing, very loud. There were hundred if not thousand of bees in that tree.
I never knew.

We have quite a few Basswoods and like them.  The bee guy has bees across the road.  I will watch the basswood (linden) trees for the bees.  During the football season they raid the hummer feeders here.
